IDEAS
Why do we care?
Why does it disturb us that tens of thousands of people were killed by an earthquake in Turkey? Why are we outraged when a crazed gunman mows down a flock of children in a schoolyard? Why are we pained by the sight of a homeless man dying a slow death in a doorway?
CONNECTIONS
Home For Shabbat
The plane rolled toward the runway and I waited for takeoff. No such luck. The pilot announced the flight was being delayed three hours due to stormy weather conditions in Chicago. I glanced at my watch nervously. Usually, I avoid flying Friday afternoons for fear I won’t arrive in time, but on summer weekends when Shabbat doesn’t begin until 8 p.m., I figured I’d be safe. I figured wrong.
