The Shofar and the Shofar’s editor join the City of Highland Park, Ill., in mourning those killed in a mass shooting at a July 4 parade. Among them were Steve Strauss, 88, Jacki Lovi Sundheim, 63, and Katherine Goldstein, 64. Before relocating to New York, my husband and I and our children lived in that picturesque city, within walking distance of Ravinia Park, the summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. On nice afternoons, with Jenny in a stroller and Mimi on a tricycle, we would meander through the park and listen to Seiji Ozawa rehearse the orchestra. To learn that such a thing could happen there was shattering. SMB
