It is easy to throw around the term “friend” when speaking of acquaintances or people you are friendly with. But a true friend, someone who truly knows you and gets you is one of life’s greatest gifts. Judaism teaches that we should “acquire a friend” in the singular. This teaches that real friendship is not about quantity, but quality, and if we can acquire one close friend that we keep through our lives, that is all we will need. Watch this beautiful reunion of two veterans when 85-year-old “Tex” is surprised by his war-time best friend after 58 years and the only one who called him that name.
