Abstract:
During Mira’s first visit to the US, I have toured New York with her, which I knew from previous visits. She expressed admiration for the spirit of freedom floating above the huge metropolis, until we arrived at Brooklyn Bridge. There she saw the life miserable, houseless people who were sadly laying under the bridge in the freezing cold, covered in ragged coats, tattered blanket and cardboards, and told me: freedom to die under the bridge is not freedom. In terms of charity, we donated in Israel to bodies handling the hungry and homeless. In terms of justice, her heart was with the notion of human rights, true to her method, though she believed it is a matter of preliminary arrangement, after all, the designation of state expenses and source allocation to that are the essence of budgeting process, subject to Knesset authority, reflecting the policy and ideology at its core. This article was written prior to Mira’s premature death, in sleep. The essence that was written in it was known to her and it is now dedicated to her memory. During all her life she did justice and loved grace, and modest; justice and charity were of utmost importance to her.
