Last week I wrote about a special wedding in Hebron (The Cycle of Life), the day after the funeral of a four and half year old, the nephew of the bride. Below is a video cut from the wedding, in which Moshe Zar, the baby's great grandfather, and grandfather of the bride, speaks during the chupa - wedding ceremony. His words and message are quite inspiring. (In Hebrew, for all those who understand.)
