eulogize

Thousands of mourners turned out Tuesday for Goldberg-Polin’s funeral in Jerusalem, where he was eulogized by speaker after speaker, including the country’s president, Isaac Herzog, who asked for forgiveness on behalf of the Israeli state.

“I eulogized her and I didn’t want to,” the actor-director said Monday.

His remains have since been transferred back to Atlanta where he will be eulogized on Friday.

I remember, as if it were yesterday, sitting in an Alabama church as the Baptist preacher eulogized my grandmother.

“But I do acknowledge and promote that we have to eulogize what it used to be so that we can birth something new.”
