Thank you for making me almost cry.

This is as dark as these days get. Thank you for going there 30 years ago and again today.

The story in your accent reminded me of the great synagogue on rehov allenby. It's pure and white on the inside, but also slightly fake. Then you step outside and the world is 100% real - grime and traffic and noise and heat and alley cats. The story also reminded of something Chaim Weizmann said, about how Israel will be complete when Jewish cops chase Jewish criminals. If god is an abusive partner, then are murderers the greatest patriots? In both cases, sin is a prerequisite for justice.
