Jessica Chapnik Kahn was celebrating Hanukkah with her young daughter Shemi when two terrorists opened fire on the gathering. She shielded Shemi with her own body. Fifteen people were killed.
In the aftermath, as political discourse dominated the headlines, Jessica turned to Instagram to share her words. Raw, heartfelt, and deeply human, her writing cut through the noise—offering connection and light in a time of darkness and division.
