“Something remarkable happened today. As I was leaving a prayer service [near the UN] for the three boys kidnapped on their way home from Yeshiva, I ran into a rally for the abducted Nigerian school girls. Having some free time, I decided to join that rally, too.“Soon, [Rabbi] Seth Braunstein and I decided to run and invite Rav Avi Weiss to the rally. As I ran back to invite Rav Avi, Seth spoke with the organizers of this rally (taking place outside the Nigerian Consulate), and told them that Rabbi Weiss would be joining.
“They invited Rav Avi to be their final speaker. He spoke about our commitment to stand up for each other. The girls in Nigeria and the boys in Israel, he said, will never be found, unless every person in the world sees them as their brother, sister, daughter or son. G-d created man singularly, he preached in the name of the Talmud, so that no person can claim superiority over another human being.
“We closed by singing a Carlebach niggun [tune] together. ‘Because of my brothers and friends, Because of my sisters and friends, Please let me ask, please let me sing, peace to you. This is the house, the house of the Lord, I wish the best for you’ “
