As has been my custom for many years, on Friday Nights, regardless of where I am , Morocco, Malaysia or Miami, I would light candles and recite in Hebrew my words of thanks for the bread and the grains and the wine and the fruits of the earth. It is usually a happy moment.

When would this killing of innocent people stop ?
