It's the second in a special two-part series called "Do we really make our own choices? What Judaism teaches us about our ability to react to things in the right way." Martin Luther King Jr once said: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” In this series, Rabbi Wildes reflects on the terrible tragedy of the death of George Floyd and the reaction which has ensued across the United States.
