9/11

Black and white photo of a city skyline at night with bridges and vertical beams of light illuminating the sky.

On September 11, 2001, the lives of United States citizens, and people around the world, changed irrevocably. How do we make sense of such enormous hatred and violence? With poems and prayers we reach out to mourn, console, and question. We commemorate this tragedy and work for tikkun olam, envisioning a world where such incomprehensible loss never happens again.
