Reader's Comment I am not Jewish either (on mother's side) but I LOVED the teaching which underlines this story. It is so deep. It speaks of the best of ALL people which has been so profoundly exemplified by the Jewish people throughout history. Your people have not only given the world the light of TORAH and HASHEM. You have also shown us practical demonstrations of them both in the character of the lives you lead. May the Blessing of HASHEM be upon your and yours.
