There is a lot to be said about the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, but I just can't find enough words.
There is no justification for this horrible tragedy. Absolutely none. This is a man who left his home to go spread light in a new place, and was murdered for it.
His murder is unjustifiable.
This murder turned his legacy into something painful, something to be angry about. The name of a person whose whole mission was to spread light and joy now evokes pain. It's unfair, another thing stolen.
Do not let his murderers take and twist his legacy.
Go out of your way to do a mitzvah in his memory. Maybe light for Shabbat this week, say a bracha over something you eat if you usually don't. Take a few minutes out of your day to read a lesson on this week's parashah. Anything.
They took his life, don't let them take his legacy.
