"al kiddush Hashem" Seems to be a terrible way to describe why a person was murdered by the Nazis. Why would Hashem want us to believe that when a Nazi murdered someone, it happened as if it were a prayer/blessing to Hashem. Sure hope that I got this wrong !
Accentuate the positive
Rabbi Gordon's tale ends with "chazak" or strong.
To remain strong thru one horrible vicissitude after another...if HaShem would only give me a tiny clue as to when I will be able to greet the new day with a smile that erases all the messes that my life is and has been......My prayers don't seem to "do the trick". Any suggestons ?
Thank you! Thank you for the kind message Rabbi!
beautiful message
this is amazing, thank you
shabbat shalom
That is true: this world is so expensive for good people.... ;)
It is much cheaper doing the wrong things as many other people who is immediatelly rewarded, but G-d is watching and the way is long.
Shabat Shalom.
Thank You This is a simple, but profound story. I will remember it and share it with my children and grandchildren. Thank you!
I Like. Also I like the way he presents.
Nice Rabbi.
Rabbi: Thank you for your positive message. It's a good way to start the day.
I love this.
RE: "al kiddush Hashem" The statement does not provide a reason for the death, which is the product of sheer evil. Rather, it expresses that this Jewish person went to his death in a noble, holy manner, at one with G-d and His Torah.
