My wife and I were in India when we heard the shocking news about October 7. Having lived in Israel since 2016, we have many friends there and were deeply concerned for their safety. We couldn’t return until mid-November, and the time away severely disrupted our research. We received immense assistance from the Institute, including emotional and mental support from our supervisors. The trauma of the events left a lasting impact, but we remain hopeful and committed to our work.
