The Personal Impact of the Massacre in Jerusalem

…This morning, as I was thinking about the families facing these tragedies, I was brought back to a seemingly trivial episode last Friday evening, when I was rushing to synagogue to attend services welcoming the Sabbath, together with my son Shmuel (soon to be seven), and my four-year-old, David. As we were walking on the sidewalk, I saw a sharp branch from an overhanging vine poke Shmuel next to his left eye, and instantly felt a flash of pain in my left eye, as if the branch had struck me. My pain disappeared when I realized that it was not me who had been hit, and my worry faded within a few minutes when I saw that the only wound to Shmuel was to his pride. Afterwards, I felt oddly content, knowing that at least in that one moment, I had been a genuine parent, feeling my child’s pain as my own and wishing only that I could have protected him from its source. …

…This morning, sensing the fragility of life, I actually meant them (die Worte des Segens, eingefügt von mir)—not only for my David, but on behalf of all the parents in Israel, who are doing their best to keep their children safe and sound in a country in which this is not always so easy—and who must cope with tragedy when the peace for which we work and pray is shattered.

Solche Eltern! Die würde ich jedem wünschen.
