“Let Our People Go”: The Power of Being an Upstander

What makes an effective upstander? Does one need to be a public leader in order to be an upstander? How might we find inspiration from the upstanders of the Passover story to become upstanders to help the hostages?

Upstander (noun): One who speaks, acts and/or intervenes in support of an individual or a group of people being intimidated, bullied or attacked or intimidated, often at great risk to oneself. 

“We must ask ourselves: Do I aspire to be human, or am I swept up in the enticing and delicious world of hatred?” -Rachel Goldberg, Mother of Hostage Hersh Goldberg Polin, United Nations Speech, October 24, 2024
