Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth:

听

Ever since Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, three Israeli teenagers, were kidnapped 18 days ago, some remarkable things have happened.

听

A tidal wave of sympathy and prayer swept across the globe. Men, women and children showed deep solidarity with the call to 鈥渂ring our boys back.鈥� Here in the UK thousands poured out their hearts, identifying with the three innocent teenagers, their families, teachers and friends.听

听

Soon after news emerged of the abduction, I called for an impromptu service of prayer. Just over two weeks鈥� ago, on a Sunday evening, within less than five hours, more than one thousand people joined together in London to recite psalms and to sing emotionally-charged supplications.

听

Similar prayer rallies throughout the world, and most particularly, of course, in Israel, brought together religious and secular Jews in an extraordinary show of unity and they were听joined听by people of other faiths in spirit, as we hoped against hope that the boys would return home alive and well to their dear ones.

听

This momentum reached its crescendo two nights鈥� ago, when a听massive solidarity rally of tens of thousands of people was held in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square. Who could not have been deeply inspired to hear the three boys鈥� mothers鈥� eloquent, heart rendering and dignified speeches?

听

Turning to the crowd, Rachel Frenkel, mother of Naftali. said, "This is an assembly of love and of unity."听Gilad's mother, Bat Galim Shaer, addressed her son: "People have come together to pray for your return and when you come back you will find that our family has expanded greatly - you have brothers and sisters all over Israel and the world."

听

Iris, Eyal Yifrach's mother, spoke to her son from the stage: "We want you back already,鈥� she said, 鈥淲e are waiting to embrace you with warmth." Tragically, that will now not happen. But the warmth and glow of immense love, friendship and solidarity will continue to be with us.

听

As we now try to absorb the horrific reality of the brutal murder of the boys, our challenge is to transform hatred into love and to show that only unity and harmony amongst different peoples on both sides of the conflict can take us forward in a meaningful and constructive way.

听

In the midst of deep grief may God guide us along the route of hope, to the stability and security which will underpin the right of innocent men, women and children, 听to live their lives in peace.
