This is a wise decision for any momentous decision regarding Iran should not be made in the heat of the election campaign.]]></content:encoded>

      <title>September 11, 2011: Memorializing and Remembrance</title>
      <link>http://www.jewishjournal.com/a_jew/item/Memorializing_911</link>
      <guid>http://www.jewishjournal.com/a_jew/item/Memorializing_911#When:21:14:48Z</guid>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[911 was an atrocity and not a tragedy and that complicates the task of Remembrance. In tragedy what is learned roughly or even remotely balances the price that is paid for such knowledge. Atrocity offers no such, no such possibility and thus no inner space to bury the event. At most, it leaves those of us left behind searching amidst the rubble to find some meaning to an event of such magnitude that it violates our very sense of meaning.<br />

Known to everyone as Bookie he was the most passionate moderate I have ever known.  Fair and intense, he was fierce in his convictions, but equally committed to civility and decency.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Reflecting on the death of Osama Bin Laden, I explore why we should feel joy at his demise but still treat his body with respect, why his death, while significant and necessary, will not bring closure neither to those who lost loved ones at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon nor to the American people. What does Jewish tradition has to say as to how we treat the body even of a mass murderer? ]]></content:encoded>

For the past two decades I have been advocating that we use the vocabulary of divorce to understand what is possible between the Israelis and the Palestinian and what is not. Let me tell you why.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Museum at Auschwitz is planning to reconfigure its exhibitions,a decision that we should celebrate. And yet there are three basic flaws in the new plans:<br />
The most powerful artifacts in the exhibition at Auschwitz I, the prison camp, actually come from Auschwitz II, Birkenau, the death camp. They should be returned there and seen in situ where they will be even more powerful.<br />
The voice of the survivor must be heard. And visitation to Birkenau must be increased.<br />
