I was just reading the weekly bulletin from Beth David Synagogue - within the list of those who could use get-well prayers and wishes, my friend Masoud was listed (he is my friend, but I did not submit his name). Masoud and his wife, Annah, are Palestinian Muslims and, even more importantly, wonderful, kind, loving people. Much like the time I walked into their restaurant to find them chatting with Rabbi Koren from Temple Emanuel, this simple acknowledgment of the health of our friend struck me as contrasting so greatly with the state of affairs between Muslims and Jews in the Middle East.
I wish we could bottle these amazing inter-faith feelings here and sprinkle them like fairy dust over the Middle East.
