Make Peace With Your Enemy

European, American, and Iranian officials meeting in Vienna failed to meet a deadline on an agreement that would guarantee that Iran’s nuclear activities are peaceful. Iran wants to produce nuclear energy for power and medical purposes and end economic sanctions, but the fear is that Iran would then have the capability to create nuclear weapons. The negotiations will continue, but Rabbi Brad Hirschfield urges that they do not lose sight of the goal;  “making something happen that leaves the world legitimately safer and more secure.”
