- Aish.com: Just days after being trapped for over an hour beneath a collapsed snow igloo during a fierce blizzard, buried under heavy snow pushed by a plow in Lakewood, NJ, a young boy emerged unscathed, thanks to the quick response of first responders and what his family calls open miracles. Thankfully, he was pulled out conscious and without injury. And now, in an outpouring of thanksgiving, he celebrated his Bar Mitzvah with pure joy. The highlight? The entire community joined in singing and dancing, reciting a psalm of gratitude traditionally recited on joyous occasions. From the depths of a snowy grave to the heights of his coming-of-age milestone, this boy’s story reminds us: God's kindness turns darkness into light, and every breath is a reason to sing.
since Daas Torah supports Schnall in this role, we must all be mevater to him and his leadership, one cannot question Daas Torah.
