I feel as though I have read this story before, but seeing it again, I am in awe of the dedication of these South Koreans. How inspiring that they are seeking to live an observant life in an environment that is not conducive to it! And more generally, the respect of the larger population for Jewish learning and culture is so beautiful it makes me tear up — how I wish the world was generally a place where people respected and had interest in the wonderful aspects of each other’s ways of life. I may sound sappy — sometimes late at night I wax idealistic, dreamy, and philosophical 🙂 Although the original post is a year old or more, I found it very moving as I read old threads in the Coffee Room this midnight hour…
