Random Factoid

Here's one I didn't know: Rav Dovid Liebowitz (the father of Rav Henoch Liebowitz, the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim who passed away on Tuesday, April 16) passed away ON Pearl Harbor Day. Not the commemoration of the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He ACTUALLY passed away ON the day of the attack, December 7, 1941.

Superstitious types might say his being alive kept the Japanese from attacking Pearl harbor, thus keeping the US out of WWII, but that's silly. Had the US NOT gotten involved, there probably would have been next to NO Holocaust survivors...
