“Who can count the dust of Jacob, number the seed of Israel? \u2026” (Numbers 23:10)<\/span><\/p>\n

Who knows<\/span>
\n<\/span>One?<\/span><\/p>\n

Who knows the one<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who would have been a painter greater than Chagall<\/span>
\n<\/span>Had he not been gassed in Treblinka?<\/span><\/p>\n

Who knows the one<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who would have been a musician greater than Mahler<\/span>
\n<\/span>Had he not been hung in Sobibor? <\/span><\/p>\n

Who knows the one<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who would have been a writer greater than Kafka<\/span>
\n<\/span>Had he not been murdered in Maidenek? <\/span><\/p>\n

Who knows the one<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who would have been a scientist greater than Einstein<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 the biologist who would have discovered the cure for cancer,<\/span>
\n<\/span> the chemist who would have invented the alternative to oil and coal \u2014 <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Had he not been drowned in the Danube in Budapest? <\/span><\/p>\n

Who knows the one<\/span>
\n<\/span>Who would have been a scholar greater than Rashi, greater than the G’ra, <\/span>
\n<\/span>Had he not been shot in Kovno’s Ninth Fort? <\/span><\/p>\n

Who knows the one
\n<\/span>Who would have been the Messiah<\/span><\/p>\n

Had he not been buried alive in Ponar?<\/span><\/p>\n

Or did he starve in the Warsaw Ghetto?<\/span><\/p>\n

Or was he tortured to death by Mengele?<\/span><\/p>\n

Who knows<\/span>
\n<\/span>One?<\/span><\/p>\n

I know<\/span>
\n<\/span>One.<\/span><\/p>\n

One<\/span>
\n<\/span>Is our God in the heavens and the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":107263,"id":107263,"title":"-62fcf987a1e40--62fcf987a1e41num23-number
