"(RNS) — Tuscany. Greece. Finland. Portugal. Toronto. Tel Aviv. Ireland.
No, that is not a recitation of the table of contents of the newest issue of
Travel and Leisure.
That is actually a list of places that many of my friends have mentioned in the
last week — not as places to visit, but as places to live.
Over the past few days, that whole idea — of leaving the United States of
America and settling elsewhere — has become a live topic of conversation in my
social circles.
Why?
The Supreme Court decision on
Roe v. Wade.
The pervasive gun culture in this country, with mass shootings on a regular
basis, and the lack of an adequate political will to curb them.
The Jan. 6 hearings, which have graphically shown the extent to which this
nation is vulnerable to fascism.
The possibility of a resurgence, at the polls, of Trumpism.
Or, to quote a great piece of literature about another damaged land: ”Cry, the
beloved country.”
That is what we are now doing. We are crying our beloved country.
How do I, as a Jew, respond to this anguish?"
Via Frederick Wilson II.
