Feeling

I met an Israeli-American Businessman in our connecting airport - Cincinnati.

Before departing he asked: "I haven't been keeping up lately, what is today's date?"
I answered "yud-alef Av".

On Sunday he told his father that they had to read 'Parshat Eichah'.
"Why?" asked his father.
"I have a feeling it's Tisha B'av today." he replied.

There is something inherent about 'being' Jewish.
We all feel it at some point in our lives.
