What Do We Pray for in the Wake of Hamas’ Attack and the Unfolding Conflict?

My heart weeps for my Jewish friends and all Jewish people in the wake of Hamas' attack on innocent Israelis and for all they and their ancestors have endured. My heart also weeps for innocent Palestinians who are caught in the grip of oppression and terror, as well. Compassion is merited for all concerned. Listen in as I grapple with the moral, geopolitical, and spiritual complexities of the unfolding war. How we can call out Hamas for its brutality, while holding an eagle's eye view of how through decades, an unending, transgenerational cycle of perpetration and victimization continues?  How do we hold our shock and grief in a way that creates a healing vibration for all concerned and for all of humanity? Here I try to honor the pain and loss and call for us to find more creative, new solutions to resolving conflict and to creating a space of safety for all peoples.
