Last Sabbath I heard a fascinating children’s story, told secondhand by Nancy O’Brien, principal of the elementary school at 3ABN. I do not remember if the exact year was given, but she indicated this occurred during the 1960s.
At that time, Nancy was working on a kibbutz in Israel. Most of the people on the kibbutz were nominal believers in God. But one man attracted her attention as one who was very devout. He was a Jew named Zeif (spelling?). Nancy asked Zeif the reason for the fervor of his beliefs, and he told the following story.
