stay silent. It’s become 
clear that many are 
confused and uncertain 
about what to do. Here’s 
my guidance. 
“Please don’t stay 
silent. If you are afraid to 
outwardly support Israel 
because you are fearful 
that your customers may 
think you are making 
a political statement, I 
suppose that’s your choice. 
But please do something. 
“You can share messages 
of hope, prayer and peace 
to all who are suffering. 
You can denounce the 
horrible violence. You can 
donate to your local Jewish 
Federation. Whatever 
you do, silence is not an 
option.”
Davidson says she’s 
leaned heavily on her 
partners for support. She 
calls them her “sisters” 
and some of her closest 
friends. The women all say 
the Shabbat surprise was 
healing and uplifting at a 
time of so much turmoil 

and darkness.
“The lesson is that when 
you need strength you 
can lean into your earthly 
friendships, but that God 
is always there, too, ready 
to help carry us through,” 
Bahnmueller said. “We 
definitely needed the 
tissue box as we went 
around and shared our 
thoughts.”
As the team recited the 
Hebrew transliteration and 
English translations for 
each prayer, Bahnmueller 
said the lights “must have 
flickered 10 times.” The 
team took that as a sign 
from Ellyn’s beloved father, 
Ben, who passed away last 
year. They felt that he was 
present, too.
“I think a lot of people 
don’t always know what to 
say or do. It’s a lot and it’s 
scary,” Davidson added. 
“What my team did for 
me can show other people 
ways to support their 
friends. I feel so very loved 
and supported.”
