Two days after the beloved 4th-grade teacher, Irma Garcia, was murdered, Joe Garcia, her husband of 24 years, went to her memorial to drop off flowers. Broken by grief, he died of a heart attack.
Where have all the flowers gone? They’ve gone to graveyards, everyone. Oh when will we ever learn? Oh when will we ever learn?
With broken hearts, with raging anger, in profound grief for the lives lost and for the disgrace of this country, we must let it sink in, all of it. If we don’t, we may never learn.
הַיּוֹצֵא לַשָּׂדוֹת אוֹ לַגִּנּוֹת בְּיוֹמֵי נִיסָן וְרָאָה אִילָנוֹת פּוֹרְחוֹת וְנִצָּנִים עוֹלִים מְבָרֵךְ בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם שֶׁלֹּא חִסַּר בְּעוֹלָמוֹ כְּלוּם וּבָרָא בּוֹ בְּרִיּוֹת טוֹבוֹת וְאִילָנוֹת טוֹבוֹת וְנָאוֹת כְּדֵי לֵהָנוֹת בָּהֶן בְּנֵי אָדָם:
Maimonides teaches in the Mishneh Torah (Blessings 10:13) that if one goes out into the fields or gardens in the spring and sees the trees in bud and the flowers in bloom, one says, “Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the Universe, Who has made Your world lacking in nothing, and has produced in it goodly creatures and good and beautiful trees to delight in with human beings.”
May there come a day when the flowers won’t be gone to graveyards, but will be a sign of goodness and beauty. May we build a community and a country that doesn’t lack—for safety, for dignity, for equality, and for the inalienable rights endowed by our Creator of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. May we learn. May we never again have to ask the question, “Where have all our children gone?” We must learn.
Shabbat Shalom. R.I.P
