Showing results for "the-silence" in Judaism

In 1948, after surviving World War II by escaping Nazi-occupied France for refugee camps in Switzerland, the author's grandparents, Anna and Armand, bought an old stone house in a remote, picturesque village in the South of France. Five years later, Anna packed her bags and walked out on Armand, taking the typewriter and their children. Aside from one brief encounter, the two never saw or spoke to each other again, never remarried, and never revealed what had divided them forever.

In our world today, suffering and uncertainty seems to prevail. Interestingly, the book of Lamentations offers a profound and poignant exploration of the human experience. This ancient text, from the prophet Jeremiah, is a gut-wrenching and heart-wrenching expression of grief, sorrow, and longing.
