Germany contemplates the victims of war two Sundays before the first Sunday of Advent. This year, I sang at the German Military Cemetery in Ysselsteyn, the Netherlands, in the midst of over 32,000 graves. During the ceremony, we were invited to reflect on war and its consequences. The Vicar General of the Diocese of Roermond warned us about how easily war can be upon us. The Dutch Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Jacobs, spoke about how war should not be viewed in black and white, with “goodies” and “baddies,” but in a nuanced way.
