Avi Abelow is joined by Rabbi Shlomo Katz, The Spiritual Leader of the Shirat David Community in Efrat, in the aftermath of last week's horrific terrorist attacks.
We began the week with the sadness of having buried two little brothers, aged 6 and 8, as well as a recently-married 20-year-old, all murdered in a car-ramming terror attack right before the Shabbat.
How did we start Shabbat singing and dancing with happiness, knowing the profound sadness of the terror attack? How do we grapple with the fact that so many of our own brethren were out protesting changes to the judicial system at the exact time of the funeral after Shabbat for the 8-year-old?
More and more senseless deaths are enabled by the absolute immorality of some from within that same justice system that continuously shows mercy to our evil enemies by using legal means to stop the state of Israel from properly punishing and deterring our enemies from killing us more. How do we go on in this reality?
