How About Now? A Note from Rabbi Davidson
We are still learning the details of today’s horror at a Texas elementary school. As we view with anguish the images from Uvalde, and pray for the victims’ families and their entire community, we acknowledge, once again, that it requires more than prayer to end the plague of gun violence that continues to afflict America. It demands action.
