Last week, people around the world showed solidarity with Israel's national day of mourning by adopting the color orange, which represents the Jaffa oranges grown by Palestinian farmers. The funeral cortège for hostage Shiri Bibas and her two sons was lined with orange tributes, and landmarks in New York and Paris were lit up in orange. Miriam Adelson, a prominent philanthropist and supporter of the return of hostages in Gaza, is credited with influencing President Donald Trump to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the issue. Monica Lewinsky, who was involved in an affair with former US President Bill Clinton, believes he could have handled the situation better and not thrown a young person under the bus. The UJA Federation of New York and the Tribe of Nova Foundation are partnering to open UJA New York Nova House, a facility for survivors of the Hamas assault in 2023 and bereaved families, offering therapy, workshops, and cultural and sports events.
