Hi David!   Even though I never wrote to you before I do have to say: GOD
REALLY BLESSED YOU yesterday.   I'm a native New Yorker and Manhattan is
still my favorite home state all my life.  It was such a SHOCK to see our
beautiful city being destroyed.																			I'm living in Miami I
can't wait to leave when our oldest daughter graduates college in three
years.	There's no place like NY and the city never sleeps especially now.
God Bless Again,																		Debra Katz Heath

I work across the street from the World Trade Center in One Liberty Plaza.
My office windows were blown in by the blast when the southern tower
collapsed. Thank God I was already on my way home.

Thank God I made it home safely today, without a scratch. I will be
bensching gomel in shul on Thursday.

Locked in my desk sits my great-grandmother's siddur, published in Vienna in
1878. I had an appointment to meet with a book conservator tomorrow to have
it properly preserved. Inside the cover, my GGM, then my GM, listed the
births, marriages, and deaths in our family from the death of my GGGM and
GGGF in 1893 through the marriage of Uncle Charlie in1932. The text is
below.

This siddur survived pogroms in Hungary, the journey to America, and 3
generations. I won't know if it survived today's tragedy until I can get
back into my office, and I don't know when that will be. Thank God I have a
scan of the writing inside the cover.
