In the aftermath of the recent shootings in our country, I felt that we needed to rethink how we react/respond to these horrible events. As Jews we are familiar with the face of evil whether it be Pharaoh, Haman, or Hitler. A natural response can be to become angry, yet this may actually get in the way of how grief really unfolds in our lives. Perhaps we need to learn how to be with such events first, then try to figure out what we do to respond.
