This is what you say in Judaism when expressing condolences.
And I never understood it.
Because, fundamentally I was raised to not think of the dead and the pain death carries with it.
But Israel is not scared to celebrate the life those they left had.
They talk, scream, rage, cry, dance, sing their love to their loved ones.
🇮🇱
In celebration of their lives- there are no strangers.
They are a family united by grief.
You really have to live it to feel that it is true.
Because it so easily could have been them, me, my family.
This is what the world lost- the ability to connect to one another.
But the Jews didn’t. Such is a power of their connectedness.
