Beautiful, Rabbi Amichai. I’m here in Jerusalem right now and am experiencing both great joy and deep sorrow at what is happening right now on this precious land.
Today is Yom haZikaron. Memorial Day in Israel. Tomorrow commemorates both Israeli Independence, Yom Ha’atzmait and Palestinian Nakba Same day, two completely different narratives. I join Rabbi Amichai in holding both. Or there cannot be peace. Sha’alu shalom: we must ask for peace, for the sake of our siblings and friends (psalm 122)
THank you Miryam, for standing with me and so many others in holding both/and - our tears and smiles, hurts and hopes, intertwines pains and liberated futures. Amen.

What a gorgeous commentary this is.
