A Final Comment
Micah Peltz is an American rabbi. He serves Temple Beth Sholom Cherry Hill, NJ's congregation. He's also a regular Haaretz contributor. On January 20, he headlined "Are the leaders of today the leaders we deserve?"
On January 22, Israelis vote. On January 20, Obama's sworn in. "In both countries, there seems to be a feeling of dissatisfaction with the choice of leaders," said Peltz."Rarely have I encountered someone - American or Israeli - who spoke enthusiastically about who they planned on supporting""
They're more concerned about who they dislike than prefer. Leadership worth supporting is sorely lacking. It's true in Israel and America.
"How do our leaders influence our generation," asked Peltz? "Do we have the leaders that we deserve?" Not in Israel or America, he laments.
Too few others understand today's grim reality. Fewer still responsibly confront it. It's true in Israel, America and elsewhere.
When ordinary people deserve better, the worst of times loom.
