Didn't "the gedolim" forbid Shmeltzer to perform in public?

I liked the tune, and I hate to be the one to ask the question, but
where are the songs for all the
other children made orphans by Islamobeastiality? I am not only
refering to Jewish children, but Gentile
children AND Muslim children as well.

Perhaps it's like the Tomb of the Unkown Soldier. Giving honor to
one is using that one as a "messenger" for all.

Micha, why do you think I included Jewish children in my statement. I liked
how
Moshe put it.

But I don't think it's true. We're not focusing on Moshe Holzberg as
a stand in and it could equally have been someone else; his case hit
home. We know more details, were given more narrative beyond the news
of the day of the attack, and we heard him cry at his parents' funeral.

The media put in an effort that led me to connect to him in a way that
they unfortunately did not with others.

Similarly, the biographies that circulated of some of the Sbarro bombing
victims, and of those boys who were killed in Mercaz Harav, some of
the stories told of those killed in the WTC... They were drawn in 3
dimensions. Most of the victims of Islamic terror are not.

I wonder if we could withstand the emotional drain that would come if they
did?

As long as it is understood that I didn't mean that Jews shouldn't connect
with other Jews.... (That is why I intentionally mentioned all three groups
of
children) Likewise I want it to be known that I do know that I believe most
everyone
here have every childs welfare in mind. Even the people I disagree with the
most,
have the best intentions when it comes to all the children.

I be working during the day, but I sure could use more sleep at night, as
the number of typos seems to be increasing.

If you and Moise Pipek want to entertain yourselves and your alter egos, be
my guest.

Do you drink Seltzer or Szelcer?

Lipa is free to spell his name however he feels like it.

Happy Hanuka,
Abe

Oyy Vayy. Hugyvun micsinal. You think Yitzchak Schier and I are one
and the same? Check the ip addresses of our postings and some whois
tracer. I post from New York. Schier posts from Ukraine. you really
need less work, more sleep. Please do not reference the unfortunate
annagramme of my family surname. Happy Hannuka, good hodesh.

GEK
offer of ox thigh and briskets is withdrawn. I think I will join
Messrs Schorr and Berger in taking a vacation from this kitchen where
the heat is turned too high for my tastes. See you all whenever.
