๐ Well Said @beth_warren โช๏ธ We are praying for the Jewish Community and those affected. โช๏ธ Numbers 6:24-26 โข The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenancec upon you and give you peace. ใปใปใป โShabbat is a time for reflection. A time of peace.โ . These are the first words I heard as I opened my phone after Shabbat tonight and got the alerts of the horrific hate crime in Pittsburgh. . These words were from one of the officers who is not Jewish and I thought, โHe gets it, so why doesnโt everyone else?โ . Shabbat, of all the times, is one where we completely disconnect from the world. . We donโt drive, turn on a light, turn on a flame to cook or touch a pencil! We go synagogue and Pray- the most peaceful, innocent act. . And a coward chooses this time to massacre... When I hear of these horrific hate crimes my instinct is to think that if people just knew and understood us more, maybe they wouldnโt hate us? . But sadly, I know this is naive. I know there is no logic to hate. ๐ข One of the many things I love about being Jewish is our ability to feel for each other. . I donโt know any of the people affected personally in Pittsburgh, but I feel they are my brothers, and thatโs enough. . I pledge to keep using my platform to always spread words of love and encouragement and NEVER hate in their memory. . Standing strong and proud always, and sending my love your way. May their memories be a blessing.
