We confront this week's horrific news with a sense of shame and fear for our people. We who have extended our total selves to save, nourish, and protect human lives find this story incomprehensible and not acceptable. With a deep commitment to Tikkun Olam, we extend our Rachmanoot to those who have been hurt by this horror and pledge our total effort to replace this dark sorrow with brightest joy, hopefully, in the immediate future. We stand bolstered by Tikvah and our belief that "L'SHANNAH HABAHAH B'YERUSHALAYIM!" Binnie Stein, Woodmere, New York, USA

All people with any feeling of concern and rachmanut for others are deeply saddened, troubled, and shocked by the current shanda which has touched all of our lives. Given that our people are truly one meshpachah, if one is hurting all feel that pain. We seek a collective means of Tikkun Olam at this time. We stand together united as one ready to extend our compassion where it is needed most right now. Binnie Stein, Woodmere, New York, USA
