RABBI GROVER’S TORAH ON TOUR<br />
The Main Thing<br />
Though the motives for the Boston terror attack remain murky, it’s curious that it occurred on Yom<br />
Hazikaron, Israel’s national day for the commemoration of fallen soldiers and victims of terror. There may be<br />
no connection between the two events whatsoever, but the parallel reminds us of the shared struggle on our<br />
shores and in Israel to preserve liberty against in the face of those seeking to harm us.<br />
As Israelis know well, terrorism threatens not only our physical security, but also our way of life. Though it<br />
seems trivial, marathons are part of that way of life. In them we celebrate human achievement and the very<br />
worthy causes that drive us to participate in them. We literally shut down major cities because of our respect<br />
for these events.<br />
Succumbing to our worries, marathons will disappear or become so security-laden, that participants will<br />
stop attending. This would only add tragedy to tragedy. The world is a dangerous place, but as the rabbi of<br />
Bratslav taught, “the main thing to recall is not to be ruled by our fears.”<br />
