Parashat Mishpatim / Feb 21 / Rabbi Noa Kushner / Losing Our Song of Songs
Read
But if you are ready
Without negating your own pain,
Whatever side you think you’re on,
I beg you, I beg us all, to consider recognizing the pain of another, the other
Not in a casual, it’s-all-the-same-pain-way, it really isn’t
Not in a way that absolves grown adults of responsibility
Not in a distanced, American, utilitarian, check-the-box way either —
But in a way that expands what you thought you were capable of
A way I believe is given to us by God
