Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
Harvey Belovski, rabbi at Golders Green United Synagogue:聽
Just after midnight local time on 9th May 1945, following a day of celebrations, the German High Command signed the instrument of surrender which officially ended the Second World War. After six years of horrific conflict that brought death and misery to tens of millions, the first rays of hope shone over a devastated continent. It also finally ended the Holocaust in which two-thirds of European Jewry was annihilated by the Nazis and their collaborators. This year, that moment feels especially important, as I鈥檝e just returned from an historic trip to Poland with senior faith leaders 鈥� representing Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism and, of course, Judaism. For five days we toured places of Jewish life 鈥� and death. We cried together and wrestled with impossible questions as we witnessed the hell of the extermination camps and heard the inspirational testimony of those who survived.聽
And finally, with around 10,000 others, we walked from the Auschwitz concentration camp to Birkenau, in what is called the March of the Living 鈥� an act of defiance and affirmation of the survival of the Jewish people and humanity. I鈥檇 visited the ruins of Jewish Poland before, but never in this setting. It was meaningful to improve my own understanding of unspeakable suffering through the eyes of others and to process the sorrows and joys of the trip in the company of friends. And despite the intensity of the experience, we sang about peace, right in the Birkenau extermination camp. Around the singing, I shared a favourite idea. I believe that God can answer an individual鈥檚 prayers for health or success without necessarily granting other people鈥檚 needs.聽
But a prayer for peace is different 鈥� it鈥檚 a collective gift. It鈥檚 the greatest, most beautiful and transcendent blessing. Thank God, most of will never experience the horrors we revisited last week. Yet all of us desperately want peace 鈥� peace in our families, peace in our communities, peace in British society and peace in the world. Peace doesn鈥檛 just happen 鈥� it鈥檚 an elusive concept: difficult to attain and easy to lose. I believe that in times of rising conflict, this is an appropriate moment to reflect on the responsibility that all of carry to do our best to bless ourselves and our world with peace.
