God Bless this true hero. “Greater love than no man has then to lay down his life for his friends.” In this case, his students.

If he had been teaching in Israel, would he have been armed?

God’s mission is our mission, this wonderful man fulfilled his. Apparently God saved him for this purpose, to save the students in that room.

All of the students in that room should be asking themselves about their own mission, God’s mission for them, and I truly hope they do.

I’ve often wondered what kind of life people live
after a narrow escape from death. Why did God spare
them? Some waste the gift. Not Professor Librescu.
He lived well, but his death had a purpose.

Well done Mr. Librescu. Thank you for showing us
what courage looks like.

God bless you and may those you saved live a life
that honors your sacrifice.

I had been foloowing this story with profound disgust and anger for what had happened at VT. When I first heard about what Librescu did here it was hard not getting choked up. A damn good mensch. We should all aspire to his courage. God bless him

You said — “God bless this man!”

And I’m sure you were talking about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — because the false god of Islam is a different God.

Why mention Islam? Because this man was Jewish and the values that come from the Judeo-Christian heritage that we have in our society is completely different than the values that come from the Muslim societies around the world.

I mention it because this man comes from that background and he did give up his life in order to save his students. That’s what comes from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

But, from the false god of Islam, we see — that instead of protecting kids, they use them for shields. In the PA areas (Palestinian Authority) the terrorists and gunmen over there will grab kids, right off the street and drag them along, to use as shields. Also, they train kids from kindergarten up to be suicide bombers, brainwashing the kids into believing that the is the *highest thing* they can achieve in life.

Islam is a cult of death, while those who know the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob know life. There is a vast difference between the two.

P.S. — None of this talk is meant to indicate that the shooter had anything to do with Islam. He simply appears to be disturbed. This is just to contrast the differences, in real life, coming from the two different cultures.

This is quite the story.

This Professor it seems helped to keep the death toll from being even higher.

Amazing.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

The shootings at VT were horrendous and I’m sure we will learn of many heros in the days to come.

That said, I’d like to pose a question that I haven’t heard asked yet that has been nagging at me since this happened yesterday.

Did the shooter harbor resentment against Engineers in particular, considering the location and classes of most of his victims? As a person who has many engineers in her family, I have frequently noticed that a great many people really dislike engineers — probably because of their skill with numbers and logic. They are often dismissed as “nerds”, etc. and resented for their achievements. I wonder if this attitude played any role in his choice of victims?

Just asking...

I’m reminded of 74 year old Yanis Kanidis who stayed with the children in Beslan and threw himself on a grenade.

Such men have seen much in their lives, and seem to know just what God has saved them for.

Never forget.

Observant Jews are taught from the time they can walk and talk that it is a mitzvah (blessing/commandment) to “heal the world” - Tikum Olam.

This commandment does not say “heal only the Jewish part of the world” - but the entire world and everyone in it.

Not all Jews - just like other people - do their share to heal the world, but that’s not because they haven’t been taught.

This man - this hero - obviously lived his belief, lived the commandment. His unique experience had taught him to treasure life and he treasured it so much, he gave that gift to others.

He was the professor - the teacher - the oldest adult present - the one in charge and when it came down to it - he rose to meet those challenges.

Each one of those students who survived because of him, owe him a debt which I hope they will repay by giving the gift to others - by healing the world - as they live out their lives.

Then they will have earned the gift he gave them.

Rest in Peace with G-D.
