As the wrong doings multiply in Palestine/Israel, and in the USA, it's more and more of a challenge to keep in my heart the many different peoples and places where harm and suffering are intensifying and remain open-hearted and loving to everyone around me as I make daily calls to my elected reps here in the USA and connect with the growing number of peace and justice activists in my small upstate NY county. I'm turning more and more to my weekly Torah study to sustain me through this struggle--The ancient texts paired with the 1000's of years of commentary and teaching by many generations of sages including women and men living now are as essential to me as any of the news articles I read.
Good to hear from you, Sue, and good to hear how you keep your sanity in these increasingly difficult times. Remaining open-hearted and loving to everyone around you is very sound advice!
