Shalom Pollack: Embrace

 Tonite: Remembrance of the Fallen in Battle for Israel

On this memorial day, there will be a handful of Jews that lost family to Arab terror will attend a special ceremony.

They will embrace the families of those whose member was killed in the act of murdering Jews.

Their philosophy is that true  Jewish morality calls for embracing the pain of all.

Everyone has loved ones they leave behind.

Why did we not embrace the families in mourning for those who were hanged at Nuremberg?

Perhaps at that time, just after the trauma of the Holocaust, we did not yet reach the heights of understanding/sensitivity and could not properly react to the "other's" pain as moral people should?
