I should have written this years ago while the idea was still fresh and I was still young. I think of it now because times are tough for me and my people, and so rather than give in to despair, the better choice is to think back and remember one of the best days you ever had – and that would be Montreal, when the State of Israel’s First Chief Rabbi, Rav Yitzchak haLevi Herzog came to visit.
It was a tremendous event…and for us kids enrolled in Yeshivas Merkaz HaTorah, it was like a Shofar blast from Sinai.
