Rabbi Mordechai Weisberg, one of the Chabad emissaries in Moscow, was standing in line to board a plane today, on his way to Israel - when he heard an elderly Israeli say to his wife: """Come see these 'creatures'.".
Weisberg heard the sentence, which was, of course, also intended for his own ears, and could not help himself, turned to the Israeli and said:
""Last night we commemorated Holocaust Remembrance Day. I wanted you to know that in the gas chambers, 'creatures' like me and 'dinosaurs' like you stood naked next to each other. Both were suffocated to death and thrown into the fiery furnace, simply because they were Jews. Clothing or outlook on life played no role.

""You should know that you and I are Jews. No matter the dress or outlook on life. It's a shame that the enemies of Israel know how to connect us, and you're trying to separate me.".
On the plane, during the flight, after Weisberg removed his tefillin after praying, the Jew approached him and asked: "Could you put tefillin on me too?""
Weisberg happily responded and concluded: "Israel, believers are sons of believers.".
