Despite being treated as a pariah people, Jews never allowed themselves to be defined by their enemies. They wept and gave voice to pain: \"God, see how low our glory has sunk among the nations. They abhor us as if we were impure.\" Yet they remained the people of the covenant, children of the divine promise, unbroken and unbreakable. Prayer sustains hope, and hope defeats tragedy. In these profound and moving words, Jews found the strength to survive."
