familiar and those aren't familiar
national waxman was a soldier who ended
up getting kidnapped unfortunately it
was october 9th if not mistaken and then
i'm getting killed on october 14th
to make the story a little closer to
home this was my mother's first cousin
naksha and lax's mother is esther esther
and yuda these are my great aunt and
uncle my grandmother's sister and
brother-in-law uncle yuda and esther
and i remember the day that it happened

it was 4 30 in the afternoon in there to
seoul's about 11 30 at night 4 30 11 30.
i remember my mother
my mother this is so unbelievable so so
so terrible
the whole world was happening everybody
was involved everyone knows about it he
was an american citizen so bill clinton
was very intimately involved in trying
negotiations they found that where he
was
and my mother called up a friend of hers
heir of shabbos saying don't forget to
light a candle don't forget to light a
candle because people were lighting
candles there shabbos and the school
said he should be saved and the marriage
should be saved and i didn't hear the
other side of the conversation but i can
imagine how it went because my mother
said like this don't forget to light a
candle
and the person must have said
oh you didn't hear
and then my mother said
hear
what then the next thing i saw was my
mother fall to the floor
so vivid it was shabbos my other side of
the family's cousin's bar mitzvah
and it was so shocking but the craziest
part of the story and something you've
heard before

revolution was the rough revelation
going to the cemetery but he goes and he
spoke at the funeral and he said i need
you to tell the people the following
message i need you to tell the people
the following message

kill her husbands anyway
ad-lib
in any event she goes and said let's go
to the doctor they go to the doctor the
doctor says listen i don't know how he's

could tell you is he's never gonna have
kids

time back in the day now it's a little
crazy as well but back in the time if
you didn't go to the army you can't get
a job i couldn't go to the army because

said he said okay yes yes yes yes
yes yes and then i said hashem

and he said no
so many times we bought him for things
and we think oh you see we didn't pray
we prayed we didn't get it must be
there's no god i know we see this we go
to our parents can i get the car no you
don't exist
we might say that but they still exist
there they are just because we're not
getting something doesn't mean that
there's no god sometimes the answer is
no but why do bad things happen to good
people come back next year

category my friends we got ourselves the
following idea three ideas

number three sincerity and sometimes the
answer is no
