'Whether we are Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Sikh or of another faith, we may never look at our houses of worship as true sanctuaries again,' writes Linda K. Wertheimer. (WBUR)
A couple embrace near a growing memorial across the street from the Chabad of Poway synagogue in Poway, Calif., on Monday,, April 29, 2019.
The practice for mourners is to say the prayer at Shabbat services through the first year of mourning; on the annual anniversary of our loved one’s death; and during Yizkor, a memorial service held during four Jewish holidays. I did not belong to a Jewish house of worship or go to services until more than a decade after my brother’s death. Now, I would never miss that annual period of remembrance for him each March and more recently, for my mother, every August.
I have always felt safe saying the Kaddish in the sanctuary, sensing that my community is enveloping me in a blanket of comfort. The 19-year-old suspect in this— a self-described “white supremacist” — stole that moment from Lori Gilbert-Kaye and turned her family into mourners.
