Today we watched a movie called The Song of Names. It's about a survivor of a family that was murdered at Treblinka first cursing Judaism and cutting himself off from it, only later to come back to it. He had disappeared off the face of the earth, and his friend sought him out all of his adult life, only to find him later living in Crown Heights as a Chasid.
I wouldn't say that it was exactly riveting, but it's certainly relevant to the last week, in which we had Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day and now Memorial Day in Israel. It's important to find the heroes in our own lives, both Jews and non-Jews, who have made our existence better through their generosity and love.
