This is such a powerful piece I was fully attentive beginning to end. Never mind that your writing is thoughtful and the narrative flows very well, but what your musing about is hard to face and you took it head on. "It’s the way no one paid attention. It’s the way I didn’t raise my hand" gave me goosebumps and you highlighted something we should be thinking about and the uncertainty around why it's so difficult to do so. Keep writing, especially now, your words your important.
Potato kugel, chocolate matzah, and kosher-for-Passover coffee cake that one of the stores near us has. My family bought some macaroons that I haven't tried yet, which I am definitely looking forward to!
Yeah, it's good to have in mind what a good community and home feel like. I do sports (and sometimes theater when I can) which gives me a sense of belonging, though usually I end up focusing more on the sport rather than the actual people lol which might ruin the point. I'm glad you found something too
The only tip I have is just to write. A lot. Even if it's total garbage, write it first and worry about how good it is later. I can't remember where I heard it but a quote that's stuck with me is "Prove that you're a bad writer."
I know this sounds weird, but I’ve found that repetition is the best thing. Time is precious and also unavoidable. Make use of it! Write all the time, you’ll see results. Be consistent. Good luck!!

technically you're not late until it's official. Up to you if you want to get into that kind of drama tho instead of letting go
Absolutely love the poem! The iambs send me back to English 9 lol
