I received a call today from the director of Alshorok Association in Gaza, a group that works with children and operates a number of educational programs to serve children in Gaza. they are located in the mid part of the Gaza where there are a large number of refugee camps. The mainly serve the young ones with disabilities, a group that has just increased due to the Israeli assault on Gaza. One of the most touching things he said was perhaps the most simple thing I have heard about the situation in Gaza under the assault.
"Some days, we prayed for the night to come; other nights we prayed for the day to come"
The guy was referring to the bombing, whenever there is bombing in the day, they pray for the night hoping the bombing will end. But when the night was upon them, there was no change, but with each morning we hope for change. He also said that he survived those harsh days, his next door neighbors did as well, but he said,
"Not all of us are fine, it cannot be, I lucked out, I am in the minority"
I told him with his odds he should go to Vegas and be the next rain man...

I pray, people of America and the World will be kind to the disable children of Gaza, kindness makes the difference, kindness is goodwill, kindness is tenderness, self-gratification comes from giving freely and fully out of kindness and the desire to share and doing kind deeds are not done with exception and expectations; they are giving freely from the heart, giving it feels natural and right, it takes our minds off our own troubles, self-pity and self-isolation no longer dominate our thoughts, to give is for the sheer joy of giving without the need for recognition. The same is forgiveness and I hope the SUN WILL SHINE FOREVER ON GAZA.
