She is three. She will, God willing, grow up to be a teenager, a student, a young adult, a mother, a grandmother. A whole world of hope and accomplishment stands before her. She is adored by her parents, her brother, her grandparents, her uncles, her aunts, her cousins, her friends and everyone who knows her. Now close your eyes and imagine a child just like Hadar, a child that you are close to. Imagine how you love her, how you cherish her. Hold that love in your heart and multiply it by 1,500,000. One million, five hundred thousand. Gassed, buried alive, smashed on stones, starved, beaten, knifed, shot, and destroyed by the most efficient killing machine ever known to civilisation. As an Orthodox Jew I am asked very often "Where was God during the Holocaust?". I can only answer, quoting Rabbi Berel Wein - "The question is not where was God, the question is "Where was Man during the Holocaust?". May the souls of those 1,5000,000 Jewish children have eternal rest.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25937426-9213965977689525797?l=abbarichman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abbarichman.blogspot.com/feeds/9213965977689525797/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25937426&amp;postID=9213965977689525797' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25937426/posts/default/9213965977689525797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25937426/posts/default/9213965977689525797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abbarichman.blogspot.com/2007/04/just-another-child.html' title='Just another child'/><author><name>Abba</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_saWVFsU7IRg/RiMTBBPODyI/AAAAAAAAABM/hdE0jwNlVw4/s72-c/ABA_3429.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25937426.post-9174385775554996198</id><published>2007-04-15T22:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-15T23:25:36.136-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Buttons and the Holocaust</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_saWVFsU7IRg/RiMWjBPODzI/AAAAAAAAABU/AyNevQ6MP2w/s1600-h/_ABA4931.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_saWVFsU7IRg/RiMWjBPODzI/AAAAAAAAABU/AyNevQ6MP2w/s320/_ABA4931.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053907997723332402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is Israel's official Holocaust Memorial day. It is traditionally always held one week before the national Rememberance Day for Israel's soldiers and Victims of Terror. I took the photograph last night at our local memorial service for the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. The two girls are pupils at the Aseh Chayil school in Efrat and are part of the Button Project. This is similar to the &lt;a href="http://www.marionschools.org/holocaust/" target = "_blank" &gt;Paper Clip&lt;/a&gt; project. The children from the school are collecting 1,500,000 buttons, each button representing a Jewish child murdered by the Nazis and thier helpers. Study of the Holocaust has been removed from the British school curriculum because it "offends" the Moslem population. Moslems throughout the world, headed by Iran, claim that the Holocaust never occured. Antisemitism is rampant in every country, especially in Europe. Every civilised person has to Remember. Remember the six million Jews and millions of others murdered during the Nazi regime. Remember -Yizchor.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25937426-9174385775554996198?l=abbarichman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abbarichman.blogspot.com/feeds/9174385775554996198/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25937426&amp;postID=9174385775554996198' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25937426/posts/default/9174385775554996198'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25937426/posts/default/9174385775554996198'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abbarichman.blogspot.com/2007/04/buttons-and-holocaust.html' title='Buttons and the Holocaust'/><author><name>Abba</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_saWVFsU7IRg/RiMWjBPODzI/AAAAAAAAABU/AyNevQ6MP2w/s72-c/_ABA4931.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25937426.post-8294829770964970308</id><published>2007-04-13T04:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-13T04:39:05.730-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Street Art</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_saWVFsU7IRg/Rh9ryhPODxI/AAAAAAAAABE/_EcPbr3OH7g/s1600-h/_DSC2128.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

I am a part time volunteer ambulance driver/medic for Magen David Adom. I do an 8 hour shift once a week in Jerusalem and every time without fail when I come home I thank the good Lord for being able to breath, walk and eat by myself, for the fact that all my systems work and for not having to rely on a filipino to take care of me. For that matter for also having food to eat, clothes to wear, a bed to sleep in, a home to go to, for having a loving wife, adorable children and grandchildren. Pesach is a time of Joy and it is a biblical commandment to be happy during the festival. I also thank God that I don't have to be told to be happy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/25937426-4932897756745565199?l=abbarichman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abbarichman.blogspot.com/feeds/4932897756745565199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=25937426&amp;postID=4932897756745565199' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25937426/posts/default/4932897756745565199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25937426/posts/default/4932897756745565199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abbarichman.blogspot.com/2007/04/praise-to-lord.html' title='Praise to the Lord'/><author><name>Abba</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_saWVFsU7IRg/RhC5SbS5fTI/AAAAAAAAAAc/1Ns_yMw40t8/s72-c/_DSC2728lores.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25937426.post-3660143031781850256</id><published>2007-04-01T10:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-01T11:05:15.268-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A fresh start</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_saWVFsU7IRg/Rg_y87S5fSI/AAAAAAAAAAU/nuzH1X6cxac/s1600-h/ABA_8645lores.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_saWVFsU7IRg/Rg_y87S5fSI/AAAAAAAAAAU/nuzH1X6cxac/s400/ABA_8645lores.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5048520835828645154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's Erev Pesach and for the first time in my photographic life I have been photographing what is known as "Nature", things growing.
