The danger of highlighting only the negativity e.g. Shoah and Yom Kippur . . . especially in the U.S. is to make Jewish life un-attractive and thus make assimilation look oh-so-attractive. Suddenly I'm reminded of the transformation in the Kurasawa masterpiece: Ikuru where the business man finds the true meaning of what it means "to live." Does one want to live in the light and happiness of Shabbes or worship at the would-be golden calf of Shoah over-emphasis? Many thanks to you and Haim for your continued blogging.
