Four Photos That Inspired Me Last Week

1. Israeli Police Officer Weeping

An Israeli police officer weeps as medics vainly try to save his fellow officer's life after Friday's terror attack. The victim was Druze. The medics are Muslim Arab, an ultra-Orthodox Jew, and a soldier. What a photo. The #TempleMount / Har HaBayit desecrated by bloodshed. This photo leaps straight from the kinot. #NoMoreTears

2. Chabad Shlucha Comforting Young Boy 

The story has spread virally around the world and back. Amazing story of Rochel Groner who comforted a distressed child on with autism on a flight back to the US after leading a Birthright trip. "I felt I had to do something because no one was going to do something.His cries were heard throughout the plane and you could feel the tension among the other passengers. No one wanted to say anything but it was getting very uncomfortable”

3. Baby Boy Bris

I've been to many fortunate to attend many Bris's. They are all wonderful celebrations. Often they are honored to include grandparents and great-grandparents. What an amazing joy that must be for for elder members of one family to witness their family tree grow. We were blessed at to have a great-grandfather be the Sandek for one of our boys. This photo is one of the most powerful and heartwarming Bris pictures I've ever seen. A Holocaust survivor serving as the Sandek at his great grandson's Bris. What a moment! For a great grandfather who went through hell on earth to hold his great grandson in a testament to his faith in his God. It is beautiful. It is painful. It is my history and my future inextricably linked. L’dor V’dor / Always remember / #AmYisraelChai

4. Israeli Aid to Syria

In an incredibly complicated position, in the midst of a devastating human tragedy, this is Israel! 360 tons of food, 450,000 liters of gas, and 77 tons of clothing and shoes, benefiting 200,000 Syrian civilians. /#chesed #wecare #photosthatinspiredme #shabbatshalom
