RIP Elie Wiesel

#1 Post by jarnon » Sat Jul 02, 2016 4:36 pm

Holocaust Survivor, Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel Dies at 87

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin said that Wiesel was a "hero of the Jewish people, and a giant of all humanity." Rivlin called him "one of the Jewish people's greatest sons, who touched the hearts of so many, and helped us to believe in forgiveness, in life, and in the eternal bond of the Jewish people. May his memory be a blessing, everlastingly engraved in the heart of the nation."
Слава Україні!

The local paper has a quarter page article today. President Rivlin's remarks are wonderfully eloquent.
-- In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people.
-- America would be a better place if leaders would do more long-term thinking. -- Wilma Mankiller
