Letter: Pesach as a Lone Soldier

by Anonymous

File Photo: Farbrengen for lone soldiers at Mordy Botnick’s ‘the Rebbe’s Infantry.’

I’m a soldier, AKA I.D. # 7756395. While that’s my identity on base, this letter is to convey my appreciation of and gratitude to the people who remind me of my true identity. My story is not unique to me; it involves many of my comrades as well. Most of all it is about those who care for us. Moreover, the events that I write about are not in the past but ongoing, each week.

Photos: Tefilin at Auschwitz

Shturem

Rabbi Eliezer Gurary and a group of Israeli bochurim were on hand to offer Torah and Mitzvos to ‘March of the Living’ participants at the Auschwitz concentration camp. The marchers were offered Tfillin, and many ‘karkaftas’ were discovered among the marchers, all eager to perform this mitzvah for the very first time. Many Israeli police officers joined the march and put on Tfilin, including Police Commissioner Yochanan Danino.
