That you would choose to venerate him by "borrowing" a stock photo image is rather banal. That you would not take the time to actually look at the photo and recognize that it is displayed upside down is even more salt in the wound.<br /><br />And FWIW, you might have explained why there are rocks placed on the headstone in the image. It is traditional for those who visit Jewish cemeteries to place stones or rocks on the markers of the graves that they visit. It is a small token of significance to the departed's family and friends that there are others who have been there to pay their respects. And then, upon leaving, it is also traditional to wash one's hands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-55322619915597129852010-12-31T13:00:29.333-06:002010-12-31T13:00:29.333-06:00The loss of a very outspoken & courageous man....The loss of a very outspoken & courageous man. Contributing a stone of remembrance seems fitting indeed.<br /><br />The stone of remembrance:<br />1 Samuel 7:10–12<br />And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel. And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it * Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-39906858797019674072010-12-31T08:30:49.434-06:002010-12-31T08:30:49.434-06:00We have lost a helluva man.

I can't get there right now. He once honored me with his trust. His passing is a great loss which I hope will not create a vacuum of leadership and the demise of a great organization.

I so hope JPFO can and will continue. "No Guns for Jews" and "No Guns for Negros" were compelling movies, hitting home with the true message of the evils of Gun Control. I read the state Vs the Prople and Zelman and Wolf did and outstanding job.

This man was one of a very small handful who, to me, embodied the fire and spirit of righteous resistance; a warrior who would not stand down, not retreat, not flinch when the enemy brought its heaviest armaments - physical and spiritual - against him.<br />May we honor him by doubling our commitment to the cause. And on a more mundane level, may all who admired him, make a special memorial offering in his name to the JPFO ?<br /><br />God's peace be upon you, Aaron Zelman.
