Yes, indeed, I do agree with you, Jane.

I felt appreciation as I read the article on the meaning of Shalom. My prayers have been for understanding and tolerance, and comfort. I know people like to blame religion but I think all the strife has to do with greed, fear, needing to be right and the lower aspects of human nature. We can all do better.

Thanks for commenting Sue. Even though I often feel so useless in being an agent for change during these events – I am but one voice – there are indeed many ways to stand up against this madness – here in the ‘free world’ our vote is one of many tools in the toolbox, for sure. I was reminded at Marty’s blog https://snakesinthegrassblog.com/2018/10/31/st-augustine-vigil-for-victims-of-pittsburgh-shootings/ about the Jewish tradition of doing a Mitzvah…to counterbalance the darkness in this world…that is another tool in the toolbox.

I remember being shocked at the Charleston Emmanuel AME Church shootings because the shooter just walked in on a bible study, the people welcomed him in and then he began the shooting. And it was in the same state we live in and that racism is so overtly rampant in our ‘free world’ society. Here, worshipers being slaughtered in their own synagogue – the same issues with safety, but again, also, witness to the rise/resurrection of overt anti-semitism in this our ‘free world’ society.
