Last week's yeshiva shooting saddened Jews all over the world. Over at PresenTense, we get a firsthand report from Sharon Millendorf, of how the shooting had a ripple effect in terms of its circle of grief, which in turn shows us the interconnectedness of our people:
We are all affected by what goes on in Israel. Whether you know someone who was killed or know someone who knows someone or even if you don’t know anyone at all, you are affected. The 8 boys who were killed will continue to impact us all individually and as a nation. Each one of us has the ability to make a profound impact on our world. This coming wednesday morning, I will be at Ben Gurion airport at 7 am with Nefesh B’Nefesh welcoming 40 new olim to Israel. We will not deter. We can not give up. We will continue to live our lives and hope and work for change, understanding and peace.
May all of our initiatives and creativity be inspired by a goal of peace, understanding and coexistence.
