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!

Interesting!

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.

bump for rabbi lapin!

as others have said, what a country, that permits its military to be so observant, no matter what their religion!
