“There is a famous business concept called caveat emptor (buyer beware). In secular society, as long as a seller does not blatantly lie or actively conceal a defect, it is the full responsibility of the buyer to exercise due diligence and to inspect what is being purchased. Jewish law takes a totally different approach: It is presumed that no defects or problems exist in a product or property if they are not disclosed explicitly by the seller.”

My Oma and Opa (my grandparents) were hidden during the Holocaust in Holland.

My biological Dad was separated from his parents and was adopted by by a Dutch family. Amazingly he passed as Dutch and not Jewish although I’ve heard stories of close very calls with brushes with the Nazis almost finding out that my Dad was Jewish.

The family that adopted my Dad during the war was just recognized as an official righteous gentile family a few years back by Yad Vashem, something I am very proud of.

When my Dad and his parents were re-united after the war, my Dad who was a young boy at the time didn’t even believe that my Oma and Opa (his parents) were his real parents. He had forgotten about them.

The three of them survived but I’m sure that the emotional scars never really went away.

My biological Dad died a couple months before I was born in 1973 before I ever got to see or meet him. I think he had a lot of weight on his shoulders after all he had been through at such a young age.

Let’s remember never to forget. We don’t need to forgive, but let’s never forget!!

The post 57SECONDS IN THE NEWS TODAY! appeared first on Jewish Donor Blog.

My friends ask me: how can you even  live in a city that is being targeted by rockets?

My answer is that Israel is my home! Israel has been and will always be the home of the Jewish people! I will not leave, even if my enemies try to encourage my removal by force!

Mission: 57SECONDS MISSION: Raise awareness of the rocket attacks on the South of Israel + BUILDING A BOMB SHELTER IN A PUBLIC AREA IN BEERSHEVA, ISRAEL.

Why the mission is critical:

In December of 2008 to January of 2009 and again in November of 2012 hundreds of rockets were being fired at the city Beersheva and at the entire South of Israel by the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza.

We need to make sure that if and when the rockets fall on us again, that everyone has a place to find shelter. 

There is no fully effective political or military solution in site to prevent these sort of attacks from happening again and Gaza is just 26 miles (42km) away from Beersheva!
