I was watching Eyewitness News today, and the news anchor (I cannot recall his name) seemed about to choke up. This tragedy has truly touched the entire community, not just the Orthodox Jewish one. Everyone was galvanized into action, Jew, non-Jew, male, female, younger, older, all religious persuasions, and all ethnic groups. So sad that is took an act of this magnitude to bring a certain achdus to all of us, but if only for a short while people were acting as brothers and sisters for a change.
