Anniversary of 9-11

In the Jewish calendar, today is the anniversary (yahrtzeit) of 9-11. It is hard to believe that it was three years ago that the whole terrifying tragedy took place. One of the mourners told me this morning that he still receives e-mails and letters every month from people who were inspired by the acts of his brother, an Orthodox Jew who stayed behind in 1 WTC to help his (Christian) paraplegic colleague. Both were killed when the building collapsed, but the memory of their deeds lives on. May the memory of all the deceased be a blessing for us, and may the Lord prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again.
