A Powerfull Story For Aseres Yemei Teshuva
A holocaust survivor asked Reb Itzikel zt"l (Antwerp). We say the Avinu Malkeinu
Why two leshonos, שם קדשך and יחודך .
Reb Itzikel was stumped and had no answer.
The holocaust survivor said "let me give the rebbe my answer".
When the nazis ym"s marched into the town, they assembled 100 men and lined them up in front of the river.
The nazi with a machine gun started shooting from the right side and moved his gun towards the left till he killed all the men.
When the shooting began, all men started to say the shema together.
The people on the right died when they said ה׳ אלקינו .
They did not manage to finish the posuk (הרוגים על שם קדשך)
The people on the left managed to stay alive for the extra second to say hashem echod (yichudecha)
R. Itzikel zt"l couldn't stop crying after hearing this pshat.
He enabled them to the last Mitzvah in this world with Tekias Shofar.
My uncle too was Niftar with his last Mitzvah of Tekias Shofar.
