Pause for Thought:
From Rabbi Dr Harvey Belovski, rabbi of Golders Green Synagogue and CEO of University Jewish Chaplaincy:
Ìý
Today is the 16th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.Ìý We remember in pain almost 3000 people who died, 6000 others injured and their shattered families.Ìý I recall visiting my parents and watching on live TV as the plane flew into the second tower.Ìý As we stared in disbelief at our TV screens, few of us realised that life would never be quite the same again.ÌýYet for all the impact of 9/11 and the subsequent instability, the Jewish approach is to remain positive.Ìý We must never claim to know why bad things happen – to do so is to play God in an arrogant and offensive way.Ìý Instead, we must assume that some benefit will arise from the experience, even if it’s deeply unwelcome.
ÌýRabbi Akiva was once travelling and needed somewhere for the night, but he was refused a bed in a village.Ìý Exclaiming ‘whatever God does is for the best’, he camped in the wood nearby, lighting a lamp and feeding his rooster and donkey, planning for an early start.Ìý During the night, the wind blew out the lamp, leaving him in total darkness.Ìý Again, he said, ‘whatever God does is for the best’.Ìý A cat ate his rooster and a lion attacked his donkey, so he awoke late with no means of transportation.Ìý Again: ‘whatever God does is for the best’.Ìý In the morning, he heard that the village had been looted and all the inhabitants killed.Ìý Had Rabbi Akiva slept in the village, had his lamp been detected, his rooster crowed or his donkey brayed, it’s likely that he would have been murdered too.Ìý As he had said, ‘whatever God does is for the best’.
ÌýWe Jews are eternally positive.Ìý A vicar, an imam and a rabbi were asked what should be said at their funerals.Ìý The vicar said: ‘a religious leader who has achieved salvation’.Ìý The imam said: ‘a holy and spiritual inspiration who left the world a better place’.Ìý The rabbi’s response: ‘oh look, he’s moving!’
ÌýOf course, positivity was always tinged with realism.Ìý It’s been said that Jews opted to play the violin rather than the piano, so when persecution came, they could tuck it under their arms as they fled.Ìý But we are sure to make new music when we arrive.
