What type of world will my children live in?, by Jeff Dunetz
Like a lot of parents I often go into my children's room to watch them sleep. These days when I look
at my kids sleeping in their beds, looking so innocent, I worry that across the world innocent Jewish children are being de-humanized. How the radicals who control Islam
are teaching their children to kill my children. I think about the European and American press portraying Jews using old horrible stereotypes. I see anti-Semitism
growing on US Campuses. And just like 70 years ago I see much of the world refusing to acknowledge the scope of the problem or act to prevent it.
The most important we need to do is ask for help from out creator. Throughout our history, when
every time we have called out to G-d as a people he has responded, think about those holiday's Passover, Chanukah, Purim, the solution always starts with a return to
G-d and prayer. Prayer is never the whole answer we must act for our selves but let me suggest that if we the Jewish people were to ask our Maker for guidance, a solution
to all this hatred would be found. Maybe if we tried to follow one more commandment or recite one more prayer than we did the day before - just maybe, G-d will deliver us as
he has done so many times before. Nothing can happen unless we ask. The solution begins with faith and prayer.
