Read Yehuda Kurtzer's New Column: 'Terror in Jerusalem: Once Again, the Banality of Evil'
 Shalom Hartman Institute of North America President Yehuda Kurtzer writes in his latest column for Times of Israel:
"Theological explanations of evil may not help us resolve this conflict, but they can certainly exacerbate it. It will be difficult, as we pray for the memory of the victims and for the stability of their orphaned children, not to slip into sloppy theological narratives that constrain our own agency and throw us into the throes of a medieval past. But recognizing the very banality of this evil may be the most powerful and ethical way to salvage what we can in interpreting and working hard against the forces that keep this terrorism going."
