This is not an easy image to look at. But look long and hard. Look carefully. Notice the arms wrapped around the man’s legs. Notice the hands holding his belt. Notice the two men near his face. Notice the rope tied around his body. A group of complete strangers all came together with the sole purpose of saving the life of a man they didn’t know. They didn’t know his background, his story, his troubles. But they knew his life was valuable without knowing anything else about him…because it was a life. And so a number of individuals in England, joined together, becoming family, while saving the life of their brother. The Talmud teaches us that to save a life is to save an entire world. As you look at this picture, you are seeing an entire world being saved. May this man have a complete recovery and recognize just how valuable he, and every one of us, is.
