The last post was about NBC omitting the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. A Yahoo article about the subject has generated over 9000 comments, so far.
A comment by Jeff stated the following:
NBC, I don't mean to offend you in any way, but, if you have a problem with saying God, or anything that has to do with God, then, reach in your pockets and give me all your money... I promise to do a lot of good with it... but, all your money says "In God We Trust" on it.. so give me your money, I'll donate it to some charity in the name of God.
Two others who posted comments referred to quotes by famous Americans.
"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible."
George Washington
"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right."
Abraham Lincoln
"Can the liberties of a nation be secure
when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?"
Thomas Jefferson
Another quote was offered from Psalms.
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." - Psalm 33:12

On another topic, I just read an article at bhol.co.il about the doctor who operated on Rav Elyashev. Click here to read the article in Hebrew. The doctor had operated on the Rav previously and he stated that since that time, Jews from all over the world have approached him with great admiration. The doctor visited the kotel and what did he wish for? He hoped that G-d would prolong the Rav's life and strengthen him.
Rav Elyashev thanked the doctor warmly for his efforts.
May the Rav see a refuah sheleimah speedily.
Matzav has an article titled Thank You, Dr. Clair in which readers are invited to express their appreciation to the doctor. I will echo the thoughts of one who posted the following comment.
"Thank you so much for taking the time and utilizing your expertise to aid another man. You may or may not be familiar with the idea that as Jews, we look up to and revere our sages and elders. They are the foundations of Jewish communities across the world. We thank you for helping one of our most revered and respected sages. May you always see success and fruition in the wonderful work that you do."
