I danced at their wedding in my U.S. Marine Corps dress uniform – topped by a shtreimel a yeshiva student had placed on my head.

I would LOVE to see a picture of this!

Shul-going "Jewntile" bump.

Thanks for an inspiring post.

I love this country. Can you think of one other country that makes sure that their military is free to worship God according to their traditions?

To Michael, and others,
 
 
I am not Jewish, but I have always had an interest in Jewish history, and in the Bible.
 
This following sentence caused me to smile, for a moment.
 
 I learned quickly, however, that your mom could not pack you a bologna and cheese sandwich for lunch.
 
(So unKosher.)
 
There are a few terms in your post that I have no knowledge of. In context I can likely figure the meanings of such terms out.
 
Here are some words from your post that I do not understand.
 
 
Chabad
 
mensch.
 
machmir
 
kiddush
 
Chabad
 
kippa
 
Breslover chassidim
 
shtreimel
 
 tefillin
 
Sukkot
 
shvitz (you said sweat)
 
 tzitzit     (ritual fringes) Huh?
 
Thank you for your service to our Nation!

I didn’t speak any English so the first few weeks of school were a bit traumatic

So it only took the kid a few weeks to learn English sufficiently well to communicate. A hard worker, obviously. That fact, of course, flies in the face of liberals who want to shove "bilingual education" down our throats as a remedy for Latinos' lack of educational success (as a whole). It would force them to ponder a truth too difficult to swallow.

Kudos all the way around for this American.
