Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
It happened in those days that Moshe grew up and went out to his brethren and he observed their burdens . . . – Exodus 2:11
“And he observed their burdens:” He focused his eyes and heart so as to feel their suffering and grieve for them – Rashi Exodus 2:11
Among the volunteers that came, after World War II, to visit and aid the thousands of survivors who found themselves in displaced-persons (DP) camps throughout Germany and Poland, was Rabbi Eliezer Silver.
One day, as they were distributing Siddurim (prayer books), the Rabbi came across a man who emphatically refused to accept anything of a religious nature. “After seeing with my own eyes the way religious Jews behaved in the concentration camp,” the man declared disdainfully, “I no longer wish to have any involvement with religion!”

“I can't bless the water for someone else,” said Rabbi Avrohom Brod of the Chabad of Stockton.
Linden, CA — Sinners beware: Taking a swig of the newly bottled Holy Drinking Water could cause burning, sweating, skin irritations, rashes, watery eyes and a pale skin color.
For those a little less evil, drinking the water could remind them to be a better person, said Brian Germann, president of Linden-based Wayne Enterprises Inc., a company that just placed the water on one store's shelves last week.
