Mi Kiamcha Yisrael!

I just wanted to share something that happened today that reminded me that I practice optometry in Jerusalem.

I was examining an 8 year old kid. He looked like a regular kid wearing a T-shirt and shorts. I was in the middle of doing his vision evaluation and in the distance I could hear the siren of an ambulance, as I do from time to time.

The 8 year old boy asked me if I could stop the exam. I thought that he wanted to go to the bathroom. But what he did instead was to recite Psalm121 (Essa Einai - I lift my eyes) by heart in Hebrew to pray for the well-being of whoever it was in that ambulance. When he finished, he let me carry on.
