One day during his junior year abroad in Vienna in 1978, Jon Marans told a professor of his intention to visit the concentration camp Dachau. Her response stunned him. \”She said, \’Why do you want to go there for? It\’s just a bunch of dead Jews,\’\” recalled the Pulitzer-nominated playwright, whose \”Jumping for Joy\” opens Sept. 7 at Laguna Playhouse.

After World War II, when Japanese Americans were sent home from internment camps in Wyoming and Arizona, many found their lives had changed in untold ways. For Kenji Tanaguchi, his return to Boyle Heights — an immigrant community east of the Los Angeles River — was colored by what was no longer there: his family had returned to Japan, and he was left to fend for himself.

In the history of the Holocaust, the Sobibor death camp in Eastern Poland has remained something of a footnote, a place where 260,000 Jews were murdered, as opposed to at least 1.1 million in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

As we enter the year 5763, the mood of the Jewish people is justifiably dark indeed.

A Sept. 11 Parable for Rosh Hashana
Rabbi Daniel S. Brenner
September 5, 2002
Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev was asked: \”What is the right spiritual path, that of sorrow or that of joy?\”
He replied: \”There are two kinds of sorrow and two kinds of joy. When a man broods over the misfortunes that have come upon him, that is a bad kind of sorrow. But the grief that comes when a man knows what he has lost is honest and good. The same is true of joy. One who chases empty pleasures is a fool. But one who is truly joyful is like a man who is rebuilding his house after a fire. He feels his need deep in his soul, and with each stone that is laid, his heart rejoices.\”
