Two years ago today, October 7, 2023, I lay in bed, paralyzed by grief, my heart shattered by the atrocities unfolding in Israel. I felt as though I was suffocating as news of unimaginable violence poured in. I wept for the lives lost, the families torn apart, and the hostages. Worse still was the silence from those I once called friends. Silence is not neutrality.
But from that darkness, resolve flickered. As a @HarperCollins book publisher, I vowed to amplify a voice of truth, resilience, and hope. I didn't know whose voice it would be at that time but the voice turned out to be that of Eli Sharabi, a former hostage whose story demanded testimony. Today, on the second anniversary of that harrowing day, his book Hostage went on sale, a testament to survival and the human spirit.
Tonight, we filled one of America’s largest synagogues, Temple Emanu-El on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, with over 2,000 souls.
From MSNBC to NPR, from Fox News to The New York Times, The Washington Post to The Free Press, his words have reached millions, cutting through the noise of division and indifference. It’s overwhelming, humbling, and yet profoundly reassuring.
Eli says, “Hope is a muscle, and it needs to be exercised.” Today, we flexed that muscle together, lifting it high in defiance of hate, in celebration of resilience, and in commitment to a better tomorrow.
As the mother of two former Washington University baseball Bears, this is a proud moment !! @WashU @washuartsci @WashUAlumni ⚾️🐻
Former @WASHUBears player & alum Caleb Durbin is the first player in @MLB history to play his college career in Division III and win a Gold Glove at third base or any position. The award honors the best defensive player at each position in each league. 🏆 bit.ly/4kgFcnV

This is my friend Dino, who lives in Boston. He’s a lifelong Democrat, voted for Biden and Kamala, and isn’t a fan of Trump.
It takes a lot to get him going. He’s not a crazy liberal and is pretty sane, considering we’ve been friends for over a decade.
Here’s his reaction to Haley Stevens endorsing Mike Rogers. 👇

BREAKING: Ahead of President Obama’s Detroit rally with Dr. El-Sayed, 230 rabbis from 34 states plus DC sent Dr. El-Sayed an open letter standing in solidarity with the Michigan rabbis and leaders behind Nonnegotiable Michigan.
Their request is simple: that when Dr. El-Sayed stands beside President Obama, he affirm our five nonnegotiables publicly and in his own words, and then demonstrate through his words and actions that he means them.

Pretty skunky book announcement today from @peoplemag ! After we got off the phone with him, I said to my team "Jeff Skunk Baxter is the most interesting person I've ever met" so we signed up his book. From yacht rock to the Pentagon the book is called FROM ROCK TO ROCKETS 🎸🚀and it is a wild ride of a read out in January from our little imprint Harper Influence

So excited that a book we've been working so hard on over the past couple years has debuted at number seven on @nytimesbooks bestseller list!!! @HarperCollins @JessieJDecker
This is our fourth book with the amazing Jessie James Decker, and this time we sprinkled the little fairy dust into the recipe by adding her incredible sister, Sydney Rae Bass and their mama Karen Parker! Congrats ladies! We did it 💫
