Nah.
interesting editorial in today's Boston Globe Ideas section by Jacoby...the rise of anti-semitism world wide as the distance grows from The Holocaust...and he skewered both far right and far left while warning that the off limits signs that have been in place in the US for decades are crumbling, despite findings by the Pew Research Center in surveys that conclude Jews are "the most warmly regarded religious group in America", for the second time in three years.
At least 140 bomb threats on Jewish community centers and organizations in the USA...since January!
I dunno Alan, not sure anyone could be really prepared for times like this, especially after the wonderful way we have been allowed to flourish in this greatest of all nations.
I'll apologize to those who have grown tired of my bleating about this once or twice a year, but Purim, despite the joy it brings us and the carnivals attended by families at their Temples, always reminds me to Never Forget. That's the only way to be prepared, I suppose.
