Je Suis Juif


I am Jewish. I am a cartoonist. I am in tears. I know there's no visible hug in this image, but I am sending hugs to everyone who feels the way that I do. As an Orthodox Jew, I now must prepare for the Sabbath. Something that victims of the hostage situation in the Kosher mart in Paris today were doing, and based on reports some will never be able to do again.

My name, Pere, is of French origin; I have French heritage somewhere in my history, so I am also French.

I have never been happier to be able to shut off my electronics and news feeds for 25 glorious hours and just appreciate the love and friendship that surround my Sabbath dinners. I send love to everyone, everywhere, that needs it. May we all have a peaceful, calm, uneventful weekend, and a much much better 2015 to come.
