Several months ago, we attended a fundraising dinner of Friends of the IDF in Waltham,
Mass., as guests as our son is a volunteer Lone Soldier in the Israel Defense Forces after
making aliyah to Israel. As a college graduate and American, our son was older than his
colleagues who made fun of his accent and literal interpretation of slang. “In many ways, he was

It is the song “Livkot Lekha,” by Aviv Geffen, that I can’t get out of my head. Loosely translated as “To Cry
for You,” it was written for a friend who was killed in a car accident, but it achieved great notoriety after the
assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin when it became a sort of anthem.
The song transports me to the campus of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, July 2002. I lost two of my friends
in a suicide bombing that day. Others died, but Ben’s and Marla’s deaths took a piece of me with them. And
I am aware every day that I still hold a

Next comes the funeral where we are
encouraged to speak in a way that evokes grief. We simultaneously bless and question. We also laugh and cry.
Some sing and some recite. Always working to create memory and to make us more mindful of our emotions
to move us along.
The next phase is focused on the mourners. In the most ancient customs, they sit for a week in a home on
low chairs or pillows. The do not leave, they do not bathe, they do not change clothes. No TV, movies, Internet
or distraction. Not even the study of our most beloved Torah.
All this for a week, as guests come and go. Relatives feed and care for the needs of the mourners, who are
the immediate family and spouse of the deceased. This week is hard but healing. It allows for stories to be told
and the necessary movement from the depths of despair forward and on with life. No one is alone, no one can
run away — the physical debasement of the mourner reminds them of the gaping hole that is newly created,
and that life will never return to “normal.”
All this is true but for the Sabbath. On the Sabbath, Shabbat, the mourners go to temple or synagogue. They
change their clothes, stretch their legs and shed any public or visible signs of mourning. On Shabbat, we rest
from mourning.
Those who were present this past Friday at Hillel did not witness a memorial service as they may have
expected. They witnessed a regular week at Hillel, where normally 200 people come to celebrate themselves,
or God, or life, or Brown, or rest. This past Friday. 400 or more came and they celebrated Avi, his life and the
love he created.
At the end of the seven days, the mourners change their clothes and are accompanied on a short walk out of
the house. They are released back to a reality. Out of the cocoon, on with life. Back to work. Back to self-care.
The mourners are not to forget, they are to re-appropriate their thoughts and grief.
There are more periods, thirty days, eleven months and then the anniversary of the death, commemorated
for all time by relatives, students and descendants.
Now is not the time for these discussions. We are still in the first week, the shiva.
I can tell you of many deaths that will forever hurt. The twenty-four year old, I loved the whimsy of her toe-
ring. The twenty-five year old who was to help me quit smoking. The twenty-two year old who died trying to
help, that’s just what he did. Each of them hurt and will for all time. They are scars on my soul that cannot be
removed. They are burnt into my memory.
And so to the Brown community finds itself with a fresh wound in a shiva of sorts. The Gross-Schaefers
on the other side of this vast country are sitting low, surrounded by their friends and Avi’s. And we, here in
Providence, are looking to each other for care and love. We also have a chance to be in shiva together — to hold
hands and hug and talk and reminisce and, as we Jews are known to do, eat, sing and laugh.
Shiva will end. It must, and we must go on. Accept his challenge, build a better world. Remember why he was
here and why you still are — to grow and learn and achieve. We will emerge from our grief with memory. We
should also emerge with a clearer sense of what we need to do, what ingenuities we can apply to the question
of how to make the world better and safer and more open to dialogue and peace.
It is with sincere love that I share these words with the entire community. I thank you for allowing me the
opportunity to share with you. Even in these terrible times, your radiance is maddening.
With love and blessings for peace,
Mordechai
