It was after a modern day Holocaust. I was wearing the yellow star on my coat. My eleven year old son as well. He was going to rip it off, but I told him to carefully remove it so we could keep it and show to future generations.
I was having a hard time readapting to normal life after the Holocaust and for no reason I started to sing: "Hinei yamim ba-im..." (behold, the days are coming when I will send a famine upon the land. Not a famine for bread, or a thirst for water, but a hunger for hearing the words of HaShem)
Then, as I continued to sing, I could feel that I wasn't the only one singing. The entire Jewish Nation was singing it together in unison.
I was suddenly comforted.
