Think on This: “He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart.” (Psalms 15:2)
Pray on This: Heavenly Father, Thank You for liberating the imprisoned. “Baruch matir asirim.”

Thanks for another informative piece on someone who has the courage to stand up for their moral convictions even under dire circumstances!
NATAN & I came off the assembly line the same year – (AD/CE) 1948 – so he & AVITAL have been heroic figures to me these past 25 years. [Along w/ Shelley’s strong anniversary piece, inc. the role that cherished ‘TEHILLIM’ (Psalms-book) has played in his inner-most being, I recall another anecdote during his liberation: As his Russian captors were releasing him, they gave him strict intructions to walk a straight-line directly thru the final corridor separating him between the two authorities. In a final act of protest, he negotiated that final span by zig-zagging a path down the walk-way!]
May the Most High continue to watch over the Sharansky’s… as well as Shelley & her husband (& may both their tribes increase)! ‘KOL HA KVOD’… [“all the glory”]
