"The grief never leaves your body. … But I know that my people have survived wars and occupations for centuries. I know we are resilient and we will rebuild. And I know I will still smell za'atar and mint leaves even in the darkest of times. And I know that my people will live."

After the shofar blasts in the Rosh Hashanah liturgy we say “Hayom Harat Olam”: today is the birthday of the world. In concluding tonight, we too are called by the shofar blast to look toward the future, toward harat olam, and remind ourselves in no uncertain terms that another world is possible.
