This morning, the first person I spoke to asked me how my Shabbat was.
I replied that Shabbat was lovely, until it ended and we heard the news.
He asked.
"Did you know them?"
Did I?
They were a couple in their mid-30's with six kids, none of them yet even in their teens, living in an isolated settlement with a fence around it keeping Shabbat, teaching Torah and building Eretz Israel.
Do I know them?

If I didn't read Facebook, I wouldn't have even known. It is a blink on some news pages, and I have no idea if it was on the radio.
So sad. And a lesson that we must care about our own, because no one (or few others) will.
I feel the same way. Like they are the kind of people that I know. That their children are our children now - all of us. So heartbreaking.
Thanks for coming by Leora and Ima. I hope we hear better news this week.
