This has been a painful two years for Jews. Jews are now realizing the time immemorial Jewish position of being caught and tangled by history. Insurmountable problems, zealots everywhere, including among us, blamed for things that are not our fault, and occasionally even blamed for things that very much are. Where we are is where dozens of generations of Jews have been before us and dozens of generations after us will too. There is never an easy way out of this net, it just is what it is.
I could be very wrong, but I don't see the Gaza war resolving over the next year. I hope and will pray I'm wrong, but this is an historic maelstrom so much bigger than us all. Even if it will seem over for a little while, it's not over. And still worse, Gaza could be just a dress rehearsal for all sorts of things that happen elsewhere.
Hopefully none of that will happen, but no matter what happens, be there for each other in any way you know how.
May you be written in the Book of Life. L'Shana tova, tikatevu v'techatemu.
Amen
