@beingjewish: "If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill… if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy." Jews wrote those words in exile by the rivers of Babylon, after losing everything. They made a vow: however far we go, we will not forget. At many Jewish weddings, the groom says this exact verse before he breaks the glass. Even at our happiest moment, we stop and remember what we have lost. That's what October 7th asks of us now: We still dance, still marry, still finish the Torah and start it again. But we carry all of those we’ve lost, and each other, above our highest joy. We will not forget them.🕯️ #october7 #jewish #jewishlife #jewishtiktok #Israel
