There is artistry in alternating your soldier's words with your pictures that says more than either alone.

Slowly, slowly. Many young people here as in Chu"l have been poisoned by atheistic media to be "turned off" from religion. But my sons report that the less-religious soldier ask questions, and are sometimes open to ideas if they are presented gently. But they value sleep and warmth a little more still than hearing the Megilla by flashlight. They admire the religious guys' devotion; but they also think they are a little crazy. Give them time. They serve side by side; they are friends. Who knows what will be the result of one shared hamantashen on a cold morning in the field?rutimizrachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809119908148195009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873285922620200649.post-8540323441603818122012-03-11T07:51:06.752+02:002012-03-11T07:51:06.752+02:00God bless our soldiers.

Your ...God bless our soldiers. They make us proud.<br /><br />Your son did say one thing that made me wince:<br />"The religious soldiers again gathered together and read the Megilla. There was dancing and singing. The Purim spirit was felt by every person there, by every soldier."<br /><br />If every soldier felt it, then why could not all the soldiers gather for the second reading? Did the religious boys invite their peers, or did they presume the non-religious would not relate to the reading? Surely the story itself is exhilarating - especially to boys who know they are training to fight the Hamans of the world!in the vanguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796434751654291581noreply@blogger.com
