Inspiring...A shliach told me a simlar story about him
May 3, 2016 2:05 pm

Years ago I had a guest on my radio program Rabbi Leverton? I don’t remember his exact last name…he later became a shliach out west. He told how he became a Hope indiain and traveled to meet the chief and to his surprise he sent him to go discover his heritage because each person is made to be in there group. He sadly passed away a few years ago. A very sweet man. Thanks for sharing your story and Moshiach now

So special

What a beautiful story, and thank you for sharing. Your father’s story, so close to us, has moved me, and I’m sharing it with our little congregation. Jews find meaning helping others, & the rez attracts good hearts. Teachers and health-care workers also find their way to Pine Ridge, Rosebud and other Indian reservation locations. We have so few Jews, but we maintain our community somehow.
Did your father ever mention finding us here in Rapid City?

Excellent,
