Silver lining: Blessed, grateful, or upbeat about the pandemic

My father-in-law, was talking to me about how the Conservative Movement responded to the pandemic could be useful in a Rosh Hashanah sermon.  I agree, I think that being able to forgive is enhanced if one has a sense of flexibility in life, understanding that often there is not just one right answer, but multiple paths that can be followed and when someone chooses a different path from our own, it does not make it wrong or bad, just different. Conservative Judaism teaches this path, in most situations there is not a single Conservative answer, but often a range of legitimate Conservative Movement responses.
