This Saturday night begins the sundown to sundown Tisha B'Av fast. It is a longstanding tradition marked by a day of communal mourning and reflection.
I wasn't around 2,000 years ago when my people's Temple was destroyed and thousands perished.
But, I am around today and that is why I will take the time to honor those who lost their lives in that tragedy.
Today begins the Summer Olympics in London. It is a longstanding tradition marked by 17 days of athletic competition among nations.
I wasn't around 40 years ago when 11 Israeli men lost their lives at the Summer Olympics in Munich.
But, I am around today and that is why I will take the time to honor those who lost their lives in that tragedy.
Shame on the International Olympic Committee for not recognizing the importance of memorializing this tragedy. Please take a minute today during the Opening Ceremonies to remember The Munich 11.

Thank You!
Learn about the lives of the 11 Israeli Olympians who were murdured by terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympics. The IOC (International Olympic Committee) still refuses to grant #JustOneMinute of silence to memorialize the Munich 11:
