As you may recall, I was away for a few weeks in May at my granddaughter’s graduation from Barnard.  So I missed all the to do about Sabrine.  And then later, I was busy trying to get grandchildren together for a vacation.  And then my internet didn’t work on the cruise.  So maybe I heard something about Sabrine, and how she was photographed marching in the Nakba memorial, but it didn’t register with me that she was being targeted as an educator in a jewish school.   Of course she didn’t want to go back to teach there, and was offered a better job a month after that.  

Today we visited and I was amazed at hearing the story – actually it was her boyfriend who told the story, while she sat quietly.  Since Sabrine is a person I always think of with great warmth, my heart started pounding as the story unfolded.  

Here is Sabreen reading a poem of mine she translated

I hope we’ll get together more often.
