When public grief is personal grief

Arnold Roth sent me a couple of articles this week that are well worth reading and sharing.

The first article, by Ilene Prusher of the Christian Science Monitor, is about some Israeli families who lost children in terrorist attacks, and who came together this Sukkot for a Family Healing Retreat to try to grieve and grow together. The article portrays the deeply personal side of the tragedies that, for most of us, are merely public tragedies. Roth, who attended the Retreat with his own family and is quoted in the article, wrote that Prusher's report is "uncommonly sensitive and perceptive".

And after reading the article, do follow the links to the foundations that the families established in memory of Malki Roth and Koby Mandell

The other article that Roth sent me is about some of the root causes of Palestinian terrorism: The Palestinian Authority and its finances. Scroll down, or follow this link for more
