The man's son told me the story this
morning. There was a man, his name was
Charlie. When he was 18, he started
doing Shnayim Mikra v'Echad Targum. He
lived in Syria. He then moved to Israel.
When he was 44 years old, somehow the
terrorists captured He was taken as a
captive and he was dropped to literally
the bottom of an empty well on a
Wednesday. They gave him a little bit of
bread each day, a drop of water that he
actually used for netilat yadayim, and
he stood there dying. It was Friday
afternoon and Charlie called out,
"Hashem!" He said, "Hashem, you made a
promise that any person that reads
Shnayim Mikra v'Echad Targum, "arichim
lo yamav ushnotav", he gets long life.
I'm sitting here in the bottom of an
empty well and I'm dying and I'm not
going to have a chance to say Shnayim
Mikra this week. It's Friday." The son
told me, "Within an hour, he was saved."
Within an hour, he was taken out of the
hole, he was taken out of this hole.
Charlie lives in America today, he's 84
years old. Still hasn't missed Shnayim
Mikra v'Echad Targum every single week.
