A cynic’s hopeful wish

Published

How can I talk about what I believe Rosh Hashanah means to me this year without being insensitive? It means new beginnings, but this year, I’ve become a bit of a cynic. In war, a new beginning for an Israeli soldier or a Gaza civilian may spell death. We need to introspect as history is unforgiving and paints multiple truths. I understand that this is the present, in which each reader has a battle with grief, glimmers of hope, and utter confusion. My personal battle is to be hopeful, and I wonder how history is going to rewrite this war over and over again. Each with a new beginning.
