Synagogue staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names with small flags mounted on either side of it. The six-year old had been
Staring at the plaque for some time, so the rabbi walked up, stood beside the little boy, and said quietly, 'Boker Tov, Max. 'Boker Tov, Rabbi
Liebenberg,' he replied, still focused on the plaque. ' Rabbi Liebenberg, what is this?' he said, pointing to the plaque.

Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.
