Excerpt from my most recent piece My experience this summer is of the Gaza War of 2014, the most recent of many Israeli wars that I have lived through with pain, beginning in 1973 at the age of 15. In the synagogue, on the Day of Atonement, I exited, went to the hallway and cried for about an hour, having just returned from my own exhilarating independent adventure in Israel, knowing that some of the young people I met were facing death now. I tried to go and die there, but my terrified parents prevented me from leaving Boston with the help of my rabbi. So many wars since, my heart is still bruised, and my will still stubborn and stiff-necked to be in solidarity with life, though the lives I care about have expanded and changed.
