They patted it down to ensure there was no weapon inside. When I reached the door, I handed my tallis bag to the temple’s two armed guards. There is a big steel door at the outside entrance to our temple, with anti-vehicle bollards on the other side. The security process reminded me uneasily of 2002, when I went to a synagogue on the Ku’Damm in Berlin. I clipped my orange and black Princeton Center for Jewish Life kippah to the back of my head. On Saturday morning I put on a Ralph Lauren gray suit, Oxford shirt, yellow tie, and black shoes. I do not believe in hiding from terrorists or COVID-19. Just because an experience is easy to have, does not mean that it is real. I think of ‘virtual’ as almost-or not-real. Speaking of erasure, it took days for government and law enforcement to recognize the assault as a terrorist act and anti-Semitic hate crime. I decided to go to shul to vote with my feet and my heart. After eleven hours of threats and anti-Semitic ravings, the rabbi threw a chair, the hostages ran, and the FBI opened fire, neutralizing the terrorist.ĭepressed about how quickly America forgot, I heard a call to worship. After taking tea with the rabbi of a local synagogue, the terrorist took him and three other Jews hostage at Shabbat services. He bought a gun from a street criminal and drove to the town of Colleyville, fifteen miles from Fort Worth.
