Holding it all:
-The joy of children’s voices under tallitot (prayer shawls) for Kol Hanearim and the ache of those still waiting
-The miracles of those who have come home and the fear for those still missing
-The sweetness of Yom Tov and the sting of thoughtless words
This is what being Jewish looks like. We can hold it all.
