Highlights
This was the most challenging year of my life, and I am hardly alone. Being a Jew in 5784 was simply harrowing. But instead of recounting this past year's horrors, I want to express gratitude today.
I am incredibly grateful for our brothers and sisters in @Israel who fight daily on our behalf.
I am grateful for the Jewish people who have come together as one.
I am grateful for the righteous Gentiles who continue to stand with us.
I am grateful to God for the gifts he has bestowed on the Jewish people.
I am grateful for my moral clarity, which allows me to distinguish between good and evil.
We will not be the same; we will be better. I have never been more proud to be a Jew. Am Yisrael Chai! 🇮🇱
In the immortal words of Mark Twain: "He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages, and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains.
Sharp analysis, worth a read. 👇🏼
