While Shabbat candles were still burning in homes across the city, another fire was consuming a beloved Jewish-owned restaurant.
This fire tried to reduce Nöam to ashes, writes Rabbi Yisroel Bernath for The Gazette.
The response must be a different kind of fire: many flames joined together. One person donating. Another sharing the story. A neighbour calling. A customer returning when the doors reopen. A city refusing to allow violence to have the final word.
