What Now??? --- Now We Make a Mitzvah!

(an excerpt from an e-mail I sent to people at Dawson College)

The educators, parents, students and citizens of Dawson and Montreal as a whole have been traumatized by the recent event – the horrid celebration of death and destruction – so now, to heal ourselves, we must counterbalance it with a celebration of life and creativity – a Mitzvah in Yiddish. And we're lucky, because we have the wherewithal to do it. All we need now is the will.
I suggest the Dawson admin, student services, students from Concordia (who were superb!!) and the local media organize a Mitzvah – right out there on the street in front of the college – in order to replace the communal memories of mahem with ones of communal joy, song, dance and most importantly – laughter.
I hereby volunteer my services and contacts in the entertainment business to help organize such an event. If there's a will, there's a way – let's do it – I know it'll help a lot of us to get involved planning, producing, performing and participating in what may become the first annual Montreal Mitzvah. Think it over, then get back to me if you're interested. I sincerely hope you are.
Let's focus our minds, hearts and bodies on life and creativity and maybe it'll help fill up the empty so many of us have been feeling since last Wednesday.
