Darfur
YOM HASHOAH: MOURNERS' KADDISH IN TIME OF WAR AND VIOLENCE
Darfur | Interreligious Relations | War, Peace, & the Jewish Community | Festival Spiral | Death and MourningMay 1, 2008 is Yom HaShoah (the Day of Remembrance of the Nazi Holocaust), observed one day earlier in the Jewish calendar than usual, because of not wanting to observe it on Friday as Shabbat is coming into the world.
It seems especially fitting to use as the Mourners Kaddish for today a rendition in Aramaic, Hebrew, and English of the MOURNERS' KADDISH IN TIME OF WAR AND VIOLENCE that we at The Shalom Center have developed.(See three paragraphs below). Though it is of course a Jewish prayer, we offer the interpretive English translation below, in the hope it may be spiritually helpful for many people of many other traditions as well.
Sudan & Darfur: A Report
DarfurRabbi Mordechai Liebling/ Abrahamic Religious Delegation, 6/29/2005
Dear Friends,
In May, I received a phone call from Rev. (and former Congressman) Walter Fauntroy, inviting me as director of The Shalom Center to join a multireligious delegation that would very soon visit the Sudan to work for peace and an end to the violence in Darfur.
I very much wanted to go, but my responsibilities as director of The Shalom Center were especially intense. I did not think The Shalom Center could afford for me to be away for two weeks.
I decided to ask Rabbi Mordechai Liebling, director of the Torah of Money project of The Shefa Fund, former director of the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation , and chair of the Board of The Shalom Center, to go, in part representing The Shalom Center.
