I wanted to reach out to you to talk personally for some more advice. My partner is Muslim, I am Jewish. We met a couple of months ago, way after Oktober 7th. We are both able to differentiate between our people and us as individuals. However, the people of my congregation feel betrayed by me being in a relationship with what they see as the personification of the enemy. I struggle. Discussions end in a wall all of the time. While I can understand some of their points, there’s 0 understanding from their side. I didn’t choose to fall in love with this person. We both want peace for everyone.
