Here is a thread from my Covenant & Conversation essay on #Shemini called "Between Hope and Humanity". You can read it in full here: bit.ly/2WsGOMR & download the accompanying Family Edition here: bit.ly/2TDMySc. #ShabbatShalom 
After the #Holocaust, for the #Jewish people, there were, and are, no words to silence the grief or end the tears. We may say – as Moses said to Aaron – that the victims were innocent, holy, that they died "al kiddush Hashem", “in sanctification of God’s name.”
Surely that is true. Yet nonetheless, “Aaron remained silent.” When all the explanations and consolations have been given, grief remains, unassuaged. We would not be human were it otherwise. That, surely, is the message of the book of Job.
