Acts of Faith – Memorial for Mumbai Massacred
RALEIGH, NC — Rabbi Sholom Estrin, assistant rabbi with Congregation Sha’arei Israel, holds a Havdalah candle, lit at the end of the Sabbath to mark the passage from sacred to secular time. Estrin was among those who led a community memorial and solidarity gathering for victims of the Mumbai terrorist attacks. The event at the Chabad Center of Raleigh paid tribute to the more than 170 people who died in the attacks.
‘Our response to any tragedy is to add more holiness in the world,’ Estrin said. ‘The Havdalah candle reminds us that we can choose to create holiness in our lives.’ The killings in Mumbai, including the targeting of Jews at the Mumbai Chabad Lubavitch center, known as the Nariman House, were shocking, but he said the appropriate response is simple. ‘The response must not be for us to go into hiding; on the contrary, we must increase in our efforts to help people get in touch with their spiritual side; to encourage them to increase in goodness and kindness. … To us that is the proper response to terror.’
