Dear Safranim, I cannot post anything without first saying that, as I'm sure you all know, this week is a week of mourning in Boston. The most beautiful, humanity-affirming event of our city, the Boston Marathan, has had its heart ripped out. We will heal, and we will go on, but this event will never be the same, and our city will never be the same. Our prayers go to the families of those killed. And, we say a "mi shebeirach" for those who have been injured.
