Op-Ed: From Mourning to Morning
by Yochanan Gordon
Let’s just say we are all happy that the three weeks and nine-days are finally over. Superficially, while it seems that this happiness expresses itself on various levels in a cross-section of people – the truth is, at its core we are all rejoicing for the same reason – that is, our ability at this time to achieve through kindness and compassion what we have attempted to do through sadness and grief. But just as the seasons change, this joyous season too will pass on by unless we can effect true and lasting change; change that we have been pursuing for thousands of years and until now has been so illusive.
