On the anniversary of an event, feelings are often brought back to life, sometimes after being hidden or buried. With the anniversary of the terrorist attacks last year, I’m sure the mood around here (that is, the physical location, not the website) will be sort of solemn. Richard Goldstein suggests we look at September 11 from a Jewish point of view (notice, that’s Jewish not Israeli). Along the same lines, Laura Bush suggests we turn off our televisions.
This story about Bobby Valentine (manager of the Mets) is also nice to read.
I love the suggestion to blow a thousand shofars at ground zero. I think that would be….amazing. And poignant. And just….incredible.
I was going to ask what a “shofar” was, right off the bat, then I thought, “I’ll read the article instead and maybe that’ll say.”
What’s a shofar?
Ah, Google Glossary has the answer to your question.
But….the article DID say.
Not when I skimmed it.
