A WOMAN OF HONOR A HERO FOR ALL Message from Rachelle Sprecher Fraenkel

This is a message from Rachelle Sprecher Fraenkel. This is the mother of Naftali Fraenkel who was brutally killed along with two other boys a year ago.
     This is a woman before whom I stand in awe, with respect and honor. She was tested by Fate, by the hand of G-d, without understanding why, and grew into this test and became a woman for the world to emulate, to honor. She has survived the most horrific test a parent can survive - the loss of a child, suddenly, and with awful violence - and has come out of the other side as Daniel did in the den of the lions. She, too, has survived the furnace of G-d.
     Listen to what she has to say. I hope the picture remains, but if not, just hear her voice. It is in perfect English so no worry about understanding it, only in wondering how special she is.
     May we all never know such sorrows. May Rachel Fraenkel only know happiness from now on and may we all pray for peace. May the haters who kill children, who scream and burn flags and make threats undergo their own tests, whatever they may be, and come out purified and better people for it.
     Hear it and wonder. Hear it and weep. Hear it and you too will stand in awe before this woman.
