Mourning in Jerusalem...but also praying, singing, and yes, dancing
After experiencing the horror of yesterday's attack in Jerusalem, at a place I pass 2-3 times a week, I have no real words. Obviously allover the world there are individuals who due to mental breakdown act out in awful ways. But in Jerusalem, gevalt, in Jerusalem we feel the pain even more. So much destruction with an instrument of construction, intended to help create a better tomorrow for all of the residents of Jerusalem.
In Jerusalem we know how to mourn, but at the same time we know that we need to pray again, to sing again, and yes, to dance. Recognize the pain, the sorrow, the loss, but rejoice in the possibility of a better tomorrow. Take a look at this yiddel, expressing in prayer all the emotions. May we only know joy from this day forward.
