Torah perspective
The covenant of milah has withstood every empire that sought to break it, from the Greeks who outlawed it to the Nazis who punished it with death. In Antwerp today, hundreds gather in protest and prayer, not merely over legal indictments but over something deeper: the attempt to criminalize the most ancient sign of our bond with the Giver of Torah. The response is not despair but assembly, gathering as one body before the One who commanded this sign. The decree may seem terrible, but the unity it has awakened may be the very vessel through which Heaven overturns it.
