I found this song on you tube. It is quite moving and sad.

Why?
Why were three boys in Israel kidnapped? I do not know, do not pretend to know and am not smug enough to pretend that I do know. I think that it happened for a reason but there are so many possibilities including reasons no one has yet or will ever think of on their own. I don't think that the point of all this is to actually figure out the real reason why. I do think that the reason it happened is to make people appreciate what they do have. It happened to make people appreciate their families that have not been kidnapped. I think it was for all types of Jews to pray together at the kotel for three missing brethren. I think that the idea of events like this is to force us to prioritize the important things in life because sometimes when things go well for people they get a little sidetracked.
I think that tragedy happens so people take stock of themselves and try to better themselves on an individual level. Most of us deep down know what we need to work on. Now is the time to step it up so no more tragedy is needed to kindle the spark of progress within us.
May all three young men return safely to their families .

A Safe Return Home
When I think about the teens who were kidnapped in Israel it makes me think of my brothers when they were teenagers or kids that I know because they are like kids that I know. They are like Jewish kids that I know. It just jolts me once again in to the realization that so many people are out to hurt Jewish people . They hate so much that they want to hurt civilians.It could be anywhere in the world that Anti-Semitism rears its ugly head.
It makes my stomach turn to think about the harm that these innocent teens may be subjected to . My head knows but does not want to go there. I pray that Eyal, Gil'ad and Naftali are returned to their families immediately. Until then , I hope that wherever they are that they know how much they are loved and missed being prayed for by people all over the world.
