Thank you, Rabbi Amichai, for so poignantly articulating our grief and for giving us hope that we will come out of it when we are ready. May you find some source of hope and healing during these most trying times.

Blessings for this heartfelt reminder, that is a great part of our relationship with God to be able to stop and weep and cry,for loss and death. As well for the grace of forgiveness and compassion. Praying for Peace and new understanding between all peoples.

Our guide and commentator becomes our protagonist, modeling for us the struggle with agon, agony, as that pain that is both the pain of the body and the heart. No blame, no shame, but the tears of compassion out of which arises the capacity for kindness. May you find strength, Amichai, to persist in love.
