Memorial. Yahzeit. Remembrance. Light a candle in your heart and say a prayer. Pray for those who perished and for those who lost a loved one. Pray for all of us who lost our innocence on that dark day in September just one year ago.
Israelis weep for the United States as one weeps for the sadness which befalls a family member. Israel will commemorate the horror which befell our closest friend, our sister nation in a manner befitting.
Television stations have dedicated their programming to thoughts of that day. The newsclip replays as a horrified Mayor Giuliani is transfixed by the sight of a man who threw himself from the top of one of the towers in an act of irrational hope, while we, at home, looked on with an equal degree of tranfixed disbelief, praying that a miracle would happen, that this was not real and that Superman would scoop him to safety at the last moment.
That is the difference, the most basic of differences between our belief system, our society, and that of our enemy. We believe in good, we hope for the best at all times, even when hope is irrational. We believe in democracy and diversity, we believe in honouring freedom and celebrating life.
My prayers and blessings go out to the grieving families who mourn the children who were never born. My prayers are for the upholding of the Judeo- Christian belief in democracy and freedom epitomised by the United States of America.
G-d Bless America, our friend, our family, may you know no more sorrow.
