Rabbi Kimche's boy!

Our rav, HaRav Alan Kimche http://rabbikimche.com/about/, has just sent out the following message and photo that IMHO shines like a beacon of light in the darkness. It concerns his son, JJ Kimche:

Our JJ at the Chareidi rally on Sunday in Jerusalem; 500,000 protesting against the new compulsory conscription laws. When I asked him what he had in mind by attending the rally in uniform, he wrote:

"I went so that people from both sides should see the other side.The hostile Chareidim should see a frum proud soldier standing up for himself, to break the stereotype of 'all the soldiers are kofrim (heretics) and tamei (impure) etc..' And the hostile secular press should see that there are proud committed soldiers who think that the idea of taking boys from the beis hamedrash and throwing them in prison is unconscionable in a Jewish State. Plus I needed a minayn for mincha."
