Speaking Out on Darfur
In his regular column in Newsweek, Rabbi Marc Gellman comments on the need to speak out about the situation in Darfur. I want to call attention to his column, Responding to Evil, and suggest you read it, if nothing else so that you will see this:
The most important thing I have taken from Wiesels incantatory and luminous work is that we must speak out, not necessarily to change the oppressors of our world but so that the oppressors do not change us.
This is good writing and to the point. I have little to add. Let’s tell our political leaders!
Rabbi Gellman is right in saying speak out against oppression
