This beautiful Instagram post is from Billie Leyers in Antwerp, Belgium. Alongside 3 short videos, he said that what he will miss most following the quarantine are the Jewish prayers that in his community he can hear sung together from the various surrounding balconies. The other comments as well are supportive and positive (thank you Google translate) with people likewise saying they will miss it and how powerful and moving it is. But this one struck me the most: “The Jewish spirit always shines the brightest in the darkest times…” Billie Leyers is not Jewish but he captured something that shows the essence of Judaism and allows us to see the beauty from his eyes.
