the pain of this year
has intensified with the devastating
news
of the loss of life at marone and has
hit the t-neck in the issue of the
community with
particular intensity the heartbreak
is overwhelming the immediate instinct
is to feel that this is a total
inversion for a day of celebration
to be converted into one of such sorrow
and mourning
however upon further reflection
it might become clear that it's not
actually a complete inversion
it's actually an intensification the
very nature of lagua omer
is itself very difficult to comprehend
according to the most widespread
interpretation it's about
the death of so many of rebbi akiva
students
and as with all tragic events eventually
that process
came to an end that puts a restraint to
the loss
and is certainly welcome but a joyous
celebration
seems out of order rather it has been
explained
is an emphatic recognition of the
resilience of the jewish soul
to be able to push forward in the
aftermath of a great tragedy
to answer soul-searing loss
with soul-building connection to stand
up again
when any of us has fallen is the essence
of the jewish character
following this lag by omar we cry
for these fresh losses and we recommit
to be there even more powerfully for one
another
in any way and in every way that we can
may we know no more anguish and
suffering
