Being Late to the Seder, at a Soldier’s Expense
Question
On the Sabbath I read in a pamphlet, from a talk by a rabbi, about a young man who went to visit a wounded soldier in Gaza.
During the visit, he asked the soldier: When exactly were you wounded?
The soldier answered him: On Tuesday at 16:40.
The young man was startled: On that very day I was hosting the seder and I arrived at 17:00!!
Terrifying!!
Do you think the young man should carry guilty feelings for the rest of his life? Or can he go back to living peacefully and calmly?
Answer
Is this trolling? 🙂
Even if not — it is.
