David Miller [not his real name], an observant Jew, was at

Logan Airport getting ready to board United Flight 175. He was going to LA on an important business trip, and had to make this flight. A lot depended on it.

He boarded the plane and sat down as the doors closed.

Suddenly he remembered that he had left his tefillin (phylacteries–ritual boxes with straps worn by Jewish men in prayer) in the terminal boarding area. He politely asked the stewardess if he could go back and retrieve his tefillin, which were sitting just a few feet from the gate.

She told him that once the doors closed, no one was allowed off the plane. He asked to speak to the pilot to obtain special permission, but the pilot simply restated the policy.

David was not about to lose this precious mitzvah, or let his tefillin get lost, so, not knowing what else to do, he started screaming “I am going to lose my tefillin!”

The crew asked him to be quiet, but he refused. He made such a tumult that the flight crew told him that they would let him off the plane, but even though it would only take about 90 seconds to run out, grab his tefillin, and run back – they were not going to wait for him.

No matter. David was not about to lose his tefillin, even if it caused him great inconvenience or cost his business a loss.

He left the plane, never to re-board.

This was United flight #175, the second plane to reach the WTC.

David’s devotion to a mitzvah saved his life, but the consequences of his actions do not end there.

Originally, the terrorists wanted both towers struck simultaneously to maximize the explosive carnage. Later it was learned that due to David’s intransigence, the takeoff was delayed, causing a space of 18 minutes between the striking of the two towers.

The delay made it possible for thousands of people to escape alive from both buildings–because one Jew would not forsake his beloved tefillin!

[The foregoing story is documented in “Even in the Darkest Moments” by Ze’ev Breier.]

I don’t see whats wrong at all! I find that the non jewish guests that attend a family simcha are always respectful and very happy that they were invited! And most of the time they dress formal too. I think its a nice thing to do.

tuna- nah, its no point! you can’t have 2 schmoozes open! Nu anyone else gonna say good bye??????????

It seems that general schmooze 4 started so i guess before this thread closes whoever contributed to this thread should all say good bye! It was an enjoyable and fun thread, good bye ill miss you <sniff sniff>

BPt- (and presumably the same could be said for kids with texting / internet access)

I was reffering to that!!! not the TV part! Yes, you were right to assume i dont have a TV (remember louis lane) Sorry couldn’t resist:)

Acording to this report BPT, some of us here are likely to engage in “high risk ” behavior…Ouch! i’m loggging off now!!!! 🙂

Its so sad general schmooze 3 ended (sigh) it had a lot in it! A recap- Doc and BP Totty almost meeting, red wagons (i still never got that one), rewriting history, sac and WIY….I’ll miss it!

You named the thread “Goodbye Friends”- so if you can still call us friends it can’t be that bad…But why are you leaving?

Mazel Tov to oomis on her____? birthday! And to The best Bubby, and to the.nurse!!! Such exciting news! What a great way to start the day!!!!!!

Squeak- i was joking clearly 🙂
