THE
JEWISH NEWS?

And to be sensitive to all forms
of injustice, to all dimensions
of agony and torture. The
Talmud states that God did us
a favor in dispersing us among
the nations — but, in truth, He
did them a favor as well.
Thanks to our presence, they
are now more aware of human
misery everywhere.
Some Jews made the mis-
take of thinking that, to be ac-
cepted by the general society,
they had to give up their
Jewishness. They failed to
realize that what we could
offer the world is what we pos-
--.Q an_d_what we are. A Jew
who does not assume 1.1.,or her
Jewishness will eventually be
condemned to carry it as a
burden — as a burden alone.
I have learned that what-
ever is happening to one com-
munity is bound to affect all
communities. The jailing of
Anatoly Scharansky weighs
on our' own freedom. The per-
secution of Jews in Russia
makes our own serenity un-
warranted. Tensions on Is-
rael's borders add to our own
sense of insecurity. One Jew's
loneliness seems intolerable to
us all. One community's predi-
cament is to us unbearable.
For even when we give up on
man, we proclaim faith in our
people. That is our secret. The
harsher the pressures, the
stronger our determination to
resist them. Though he flirted
with Catholicism, Henri
Bergson stood in line, during
the Occupation, to register as
a Jew. In a world that oppres-
ses Jews, we become more
Jewish.
To quote Albert Camus, we
believe that "There is more in
many to be admired than de-
spised." Thus we seek to re-
member the ugliness of the
crimes but also the humility
and the dignity of the victims.
We seek to retain everything
about what we consider to be
the central event of the twen-
tieth century — and perhaps of
all centuries.
Having witnessed and/or
endured the explicable power
of evil, we will now invoke the
pain of its victims only to pro-
claim our determination to
prevent it from surfacing
again in any country, in any
manner, against any group.
On the ruins of civilization we
aspire to erect new temples for
our children — a sanctuary
where life would be sanctified,
not denigrated and compas-
sion extolled and not ridiculed.
In an age tempted by vio-
lence, we must teach this gen-
