Torah perspective

The image of twenty Jewish students requiring forty-five security personnel to view unedited footage of October 7 is not a sign of Jewish weakness but of truth's unbearable weight. The imperative "You shall tell your son on that day" is the oldest Jewish calling: to bear witness, to remember, to testify. That such a simple act now requires police cordons and security screenings shows precisely how much power raw truth holds. Protesters chanting "Get the Zios off campus" reveal the real fear: not of Jewish students, but of Jewish memory. Truth needs no security detail; falsehood does. And as the Psalm says, truth will sprout from the earth no matter how heavily it is buried. This generation's students are its gardeners.
