Rabbi Marc Kline: On Mandela

We had this discussion prematurely, months ago, but the moment has arrived, and  Nelson Mandela has passed.

People never leave us, and even while his body will  be laid to rest, his soul and his spirit will burn brightly in the hearts of all  who, as the prophet Micah taught, “Do righteousness, love mercy, and walk humbly  with God.”

May his passion for equality lead us all to share in each other’s  blessing.

May his light that still shines brightly help lead us on that  path.
