Hillary Goldberg is a Councilwoman in Teaneck, NJ, a writer, and a leading Jewish advocate in New Jersey. She authored Teaneck’s Resolution Condemning Hamas and works through writing and speaking to raise awareness about antisemitism, while fostering interdenominational connections within the Jewish community. Her writing has been featured in The Jerusalem Post, The Jewish Standard, The Times of Israel, and The Jewish Link, with notable articles such as “What’s Happening at UCLA is a Microcosm of US Society” (The Jerusalem Post), “Canceled for Conscience: Voices Against Silence”, and “Hostages in Hamas Captivity Must Be Prioritized.” Passionate about the Jewish life experience, she engages in meaningful conversations on resilience, history, and the relevance of Jewish wisdom in today’s world.
On the holiest day of the Jewish year, as prayers for forgiveness rose to heaven, blood was spilled in Manchester. The violence is a chilling marker of Britain’s growing antisemitism.
For thousands of years, through exile and destruction, pogroms, gas chambers and war, one truth has remained unshaken: the Jewish people survive because of the Jewish woman.
