I met a secular Israeli recently in Manhattan. Realizing that he’s a Jew in a foreign country, I reached out to him (remember Project Inspire!) and struck up a conversation. He told me that he was here with a friend that’s battling cancer. He came to Sloan-Kettering with him to assist him. That fellow, which he became close to in the army, lost his wife to cancer a couple of years ago. I expressed myself on the Achdus of the Jewish nation saying, look a friend coming overseas to assist a fellow friend, like brothers. He told me how flabbergasted he was seeing all those organizations coming to the hospital and servicing the patients and their families. He was heaping praise upon Chai-Lifeline like I never heard before. We both declared with astonishment, Mi Keamcha Yisroel!
