Sometimes the answer to a difficult question has many complex answers with none of them alone satisfying the question. Often as a Jewish people we have raised our hands to the Heavens and wondered, “Why us?!” How is it possible that such a small people and faith be the focus of such animus, persecution, and deep seeded hate?
