I once read in Yad Vashem the most astonishing statistic, one which, in a certain way, captures the vitality and eternity of the Jewish People: Immediately after the Holocaust a DP [Displaced-Persons] camp was established next to the infamous Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany. Despite the horrors and tragedies that each individual had experienced; despite the loss of everything dear to them – their families, their homes, their friends, their communities, and often their very identities; despite their pre-Holocaust lives having been destroyed never to be reconstructed; and despite the myriad uncertainties about what will be, so many of the survivors wanted nothing more than to find someone with whom to build a home and a future together. As they answered “amen” to the beautifully expressive Sheva Brachot together with their “guests”, they linked themselves to the generations of the past and, by doing so, they allowed the generations that followed them – and still follow them – to become part of the eternal chain that is the Chosen Nation. As Nachmanides so presciently and poignantly described approximately seven hundred years earlier in his Igeret Hakodesh, equally applicable to each and every new home established in the aftermath of Holocaust: “Know that this union is a holy and pure thing.” B’Ezrat Hashem, over the coming weeks we will explore the Sheva Brachot together in the hope of reaching new levels of appreciation for their beauty and their depth.
