¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

IN COLD BLOOD

On November 15, 1959, two ex-cons brutally executed four members of the Hickock Family in Holcomb Kansas. The gruesome crime captured the attention of Americans everywhere and attained Truman Capote a household name with his blockbuster novel “In Cold Blood” published in 1966. The only crime novel to out-sell Capote’s masterpiece was “Helter Skelter” based on the brutal Charles Manson murders. Their crimes were so brutal as to be unimaginable to anyone who revere life. Interestingly the perpetrators who were apprehended and brought to justice were the subjects of intense psychological studies.

This past week we witnessed one of the most heinous crimes in modern world history. Six defenseless hostages were brutally executed by Arab terrorists hiding behind a facade of Israeli colonialism. This week also coincides with the first week of college and what do you know -protests have already begun against Israel and the Jews without any recognition of Arab brutality against Jews, Americans, and the civilized world. Ironically, the antisemitic protesters claim they are promoting peace.

We also witnessed another senseless school shooting in Georgia, this the same week we ushered in Chodesh Elul. Interestingly this Shabbos we read Parshas Shoftim which includes the laws of ir miklat, cities of refuge. Rav Yissocher Frand comments that during this month we too should enter a spiritual and emotional isolation to help achieve first a sense of spiritual cleansing and secondly a world sensitive to the ideals of human life.
May our Israeli brethren with the help of Hashem avenge their murders and may the families in Winder, Georgia be comforted. Let us daven during this Elul for Shalom al Yisroel and the world around us.

Am Yisroel Chai.

Good Shabbos
Rabbi A. M. Abramson
