One
Rosh Hashanah morning, the Rabbi noticed little Adam was staring up at the large
plaque that hung in the foyer of the synagogue. It was covered with names, and
small American flags were mounted on either side of it.
The seven-year old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the Rabbi
walked up, stood beside the boy, and said quietly, "Good morning,
Adam."
"Good morning, Rabbi," replied the young man, still focused on the
plaque.
"Rabbi Resnick, what is this?" Adam asked. "Well, it's a memorial
to all the young men and women who died in the service." Soberly, they
stood together, staring at the large plaque. Little Adam's voice was barely
audible when he asked: "Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur service"
