Nat shows us a rifle that he made himself. It still works!
We met a fine gentleman named Nat at the home of a Jewish family in Payson, Arizona. Nat was in the military, and for many years he fought for our country. This year he will be honored at the Arizona Jewish Veterans Hall of Fame Society. We continue schmoozing, and Nat tells us that his parents weren’t religious, so he did not have a bar mitzvah and had never put on tefillin—but he would have liked to, if the choice would have been his. We told him that it is never too late, and he did so right then and there at the age of 90.
