Sometimes when we're suffering we feel as if we have been singled out. We wonder why God has picked on us. But my life as the rabbi of a small synagogue taught me that if that's what we think, we are mistaken. We are never alone in our suffering.

If we had the power to peer inside the heart of any human being, we would uncover there a silent anguish. — Naomi Levy
