REMEMBER NOT TO FORGET Rabbi Margaret Frisch Klein
Remember not to forget This moment . This very moment . When yet again , The very young and the very old , The weak and the tired may be left behind . In every generation We are told A tyrant Has risen up to destroy us . In each generation . An Amalek A Haman A Hitler May their names be blotted out . Remember not to forget . This moment . This very moment . We have a choice . We can remember . Or we can rise . We can rise like Esther . Fierce like Queen Esther , My coffee mug proclaims . Be fierce like Queen Esther . What makes her fierce ? She rose . She saved her people . My people . Our people .
First she said , “ No .” She was afraid . She was masked . Not visible .
