Torah perspective

The Torah commands us to mourn the dead, and the sages teach that every human being carries the divine image. What happened at Union Square on Wednesday was not a political disagreement. It was a refusal to recognize that Jewish grief is real grief. When a movement cannot make room for the pain of the other, it has lost its moral center. The Torah's path is different: it insists that we see the face of the other, even when we disagree. The mourners at that vigil understood this. The protesters who screamed at them did not. That is the difference between a politics of power and a Torah of responsibility.
