Nineteen year-old Hunter Pollack has come to national attention during 2018 as an advocate for school safety. That was the result of losing his sister, Meadow, during the February 14 shooting massacre at a high school in Parkland, FL, that claimed the lives of 17 students and staff. The son of Shara Kaplan and Andrew Pollack, Hunter was invited to a White House listening session a week after the Stoneman Douglas shooting that was hosted by President Trump. At that meeting, he wore his kippah. “I wore it there because I’m proud to be Jewish,” he explained later. “I wanted to wear my kippah in the highest office of the land. My Jewish peers in this country need to be proud of being Jewish, and that’s how we can honor Meadow’s memory as a beautiful Jewish girl.” (Photo: Wikimedia Commons.)
