SHABBAT MATTERS

THE TRAGIC LOGISTICS OF THE TRAGIC LOGISTICS OF THE TRAGIC LOGISTICS OF THE TRAGIC LOGISTICS OF ““““USUSUSUS” ” ” ” AND AND AND AND ““““THEMTHEMTHEMTHEM””””

We are all coping with a horrible tragedy. We each cope in our own personal way. We may not have known those who were murdered in Pittsburgh, but we know that it could have been us. We rightfully feel it as our loss. Our political leaders and people who identify us in the street o=er us condolences on the passing of our “brothers and sisters.” We do not question, “Who?” Rather, we graciously accept their kind wishes.

In our Torah portion, Sarah dies. Avraham must find a place to bury his beloved wife. He approaches his neighbours. They truly want to help him. Yet, the finding of a burial spot requires negotiations. Negotiations require an “us” and a “them.” Avraham’s neighbours praise him as a nesi elokim – a prince of God - in their midst. Yet, Avraham, recognizing that he remains a “stranger,” must struggle to gain their acquiescence to his purchase of a field.

In the United States and Canada, Jews are fortunate to have the support of our governments. We can never take this for granted. In the aftermath of events in Pittsburgh, our Prime Minister wrote a dramatic and truly inspiring letter of support. PM Trudeau deserves our thanks. Yet, even in this good message are the residues of Avraham’s experience.

“I’ve had the chance to work with you on many occasions over the past few years, and I know the incredibly important role that your leadership plays in protecting everything that makes us who we are as a country. Jewish values are Canadian values, and Canada would not be Canada without the many, many contributions of the Jewish community. You and your families and communities are in our hearts.”

Jews have made Canada. Yet, on some level, Jews are not Canada. “Your” is not “our.” This, too, is the price of that horrible anti-Semitic crime. Two hundred years ago, George Washington set out what it was that we should all aspire to in addressing religious freedom. He wrote to the Jews of Newport, who had thanked him for his tolerance:

“It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their e=ectual support.”

This is a high ideal. Whether we are Americans or Canadians – Jews or non-Jews, it is an ideal toward which we must continue to toil. May we all “demean” ourselves only as good citizens, and may we never again require the beautiful consolations of good-hearted leaders.
