CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I read your first story with a deep sadness and felt so bad for you and the memory of your ggrandma too. God performed a miracle for you and others that you can't give up hope ever. He made sure and your ggrandma did too that your most precious heirloom was saved. This story belongs in the odd stories on excit.com because of the miracle behind it and also there weren't any other books saved besides yours right? The Lord our God has shown everyone that there's hope in believing him. God Blessed You Dear David & Have A SUPER HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR! Debra Katz Heath -----Original Message----- From: David Simon Bendory [mailto:david90@alumni.princeton.edu] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 2:10 PM To: Hungarian SIG Subject: No Words to Describe Tens of people responded to my earlier story of my GGM's siddur, trapped in the wreckage of the World Trade Center. Several encouraged me to have faith: after surviving pogroms in Hungary, the journey to America, and 3 generations of my family, the siddur would surely survive this calamity as well. Well, it seems that the presence of my siddur saved One Liberty Plaza, which is not only standing but also structurally sound -- in spite of earlier reports of its collapse. As to my siddur, it has been retrieved and is safely in the hands of a friend who will personally deliver it to me tonight in time for Rosh HaShannah. Earlier, I said that I have no words to describe the catastrophe from which I narrowly escaped. I now have no words to describe the miracle which has emerged from that same catastrophe. God willing, there are more miracles to come, in the form of survivors who emerge from the debris.
