sad story

Here's a really sad story out of Virginia. Thanks to Mark Levin for telling his audience about this last night. It's a story of the ultimate sacrifice that a father made for his son, can't measure it in money, awards, offices won, etc.

I think that as religious Jews or all Jews (don't mean to be discriminatory) in light of the fact that Rosh Hashana is less than three weeks away, as we read the story of the Akedah, the binding of Isaac to the altar as G-d told Abraham, that we think about this man, Mr. Vander Woude of Virginia who saved his disabled son from death.

Shabat shalom,

Josh

Reminds me of the first bulldozer terrorist attack in Jerusalem, where the mom threw her baby out of the car before bring killed by the terrorist.
