Unnamed Child (parable — final victim)

An anonymous child invoked in a rabbinic parable who functions as the final, human face of an escalating chain of violence. The child never appears onstage and holds no personal history beyond the sermon's reference; instead the figure condenses moral consequences into a single vulnerable life, driving conscience work among onstage decision‑makers. The reference anchors the synagogue sermon’s ethical argument, translating abstract claims about retribution into immediate, plaintive moral pressure on characters like Toby.
