A few thoughts on blessings and curses as Shabbat approaches

Published | Video Starts at 03:14

More than a million Palestinians in Gaza are living in ramshackle tents without running water or sanitation because Israeli bombs that we paid for destroyed their homes. What would it look like for us to bless their dwellings instead of cursing them? And second, I'm not going to curse back at Bruce Blakeman. (03:14–03:26)
