I'm a mom of 3 in Israel. Every time my daughter walks into the room, I turn off the news.

• Deborah Danan and her husband are working parents, raising their three kids in Israel.
• They live in a mixed city where Jews, Muslims, and Christians live together. 
• She's been surprised by her 8-year-old's capacity for both compassion and comprehension of what was happening.

I've learned surprising truths about my children since the horror of the October 7 terror attack on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza.
