With Every Death, A World Is Disappearing.

We Are Always Confronted With Choice.

I Was Watching The Tv Broadcasts Interviewing People Stranded At Airports For Days On End, Losing Their Holidays, Their Important Business Meetings And The Long-awaited Ability To See Their Families... In Short, Suffering. No One Complained, Though! They Kept Repeating: We Are So Grateful For The Care Taken Of Our Safety, For Feeling. They Were Ready To Surrender A Good Deal Of Their Human Dignity, Individuality, Freedom Of Choice.

Throughout Early Modernity There Were Very Strong Pressures On Jews To Assimilate. Assimilating Meant Cutting Your Ties With The Community Of Origin.

We Are Already And Will Remain All In The Same Boat.

We Belong To Talking, Not What Talking Is About... Stop Talking - And You Are Out. Silence Equals Exclusion.
