L'Shana Tova

Tonight marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah (the "head of the year") 5764, traditionally a time when many Jews suddenly rediscover their consciences in the hopes that God will mark them down in the great cosmic plus column for another year. Kinda like some Christians remember to be good to people around Christmas and then conveniently abandon their altruistic impulses by the New Year. But there are always exceptions, and this year I'll be thinking wonderful thoughts about these brave pilots. May they, and all lovers of peace, be inscribed in the Book of Life this year.
