Some people warn the Jews not to gather in large numbers.  But Jews celebrate holidays by gathering.  It’s no coincidence that Judaism is the only religion named not for the divinity, but for the people.  And we may remember Mark Twain’s warning: “Behold, the fool saith, “Put not all thine eggs in the one basket” – which is but a matter of saying, “Scatter your money and your attention”; but the wise man saith, “Pull all your eggs in the one basket and – WATCH THAT BASKET.” – Pudd’nhead Wilson’s Calendar”

I’m sure the Australians will begin to take the threats against Jews seriously from now on.  I’m also sure that the fact that it was a Muslim who prevented further carnage will remind us all – that the antisemitism that has gripped the world is not based on religion.  People without politicians tend to get along. p.s. Islam is named for the act of giving in to the Lord.
