THE RABBI'S DESK
Heading to Israel with a Heavy Heart - 2 Reflections
The longest time I have ever spent in Israel was living there in 2000 during my 3rd year of Rabbinical School. Alexis and I were newlywed and we picked up and moved to Jerusalem so I could study at Machon Schechter. We had no sooner arrived when the Second Intifada erupted. Buses, pizzerias, coffee shops, and markets became terror targets with nail-filled bombs exploding at times what seemed almost daily. We did not feel safe riding buses or even sightseeing without a school sponsored security plan. At night we could hear explosions from our apartment and all of this was traumatizing to say the least. When we returned home to New York, we had no idea that September 11th, 2001 would heap horror upon horror. I share these memories with you not to open old wounds or shake your peace of mind. Indeed, I feel blessed to be able to both visit and lead trips to Israel and will continue to do so. I learned from my grandparents very early in life that Israel’s existence was never something to be taken lightly or without continued sacrifice and engagement. Yet, as I prepare to attend the Rabbinical Assembly Convention in Israel this year, I have never traveled to Israel with such a heavy heart. I wish to share two pieces with you now before my trip and write a follow-up in the January 2025 bulletin.
