Drash v'DaSh: A Shabbat Message and Greeting "Boatlift!" Among the various dramas of heroism associated with “9/11”, there is one story – or series of stories – that is decidedly undertold: the role of the civilian boating business. As reported on the website ww.americanwaterways.com/media/videos/boatlift-0 On the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, America’s tugboat, towboat and barge industry pauses to remember the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives, and also to acknowledge the inspiring bravery shown by first responders and everyday citizens on that tragic day. One of the most notable acts of valor was the maritime evacuation of Lower Manhattan – the largest water evacuation in American history – in which 500,000 people were transported to safety by hundreds of vessels which answered a call from the U.S. Coast Guard to converge on New York Harbor to aid in the evacuation. This extraordinary rescue was memorialized in the 2011 short documentary film “Boatlift”. I will leave it to our readers to watch the video, but the message is clear. The mission and mandate to save lives not the exclusive domain of rescue workers; the responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders on anyone who can contribute in any capacity. While Noah was unable to save his generation with his boat, it is incumbent upon us to save our generation – with our literal boats or our figurative ones - and all that will follow. “He who saves one life, it is as if he has saved an entire world.” While perhaps thought to be the assignment of so-called “outreach professionals”, it is the ordinary Jew who can play the extraordinary role of bringing others closer to Judaism. “The Shabbos Project” and its bold ambition to maximize Shabbat-observance by Jews around the world, even if only for one week until next year, is just one remarkable aspect of this agenda. It is the ongoing modeling of religious ideas and ideals in a way that is enabling and ennobling that will keep the momentum moving. Shabbat Shalom and Chodesh Tov, Rabbi Lawrence Teitelman Nach Yomi Study for October 25-31, per Rabbi Abramowitz’s Nach Yomi Companion. For more info, visit www.ou.org/torah/nachyomi.
