Mandy Patinkin's soul is that which we should all strive to have. This is both heartbreaking to listen to but also heartening with the power and conviction of this man....and all those that support him. I cannot thank you enough. Having been to Hebron last year and seeing the horrific circumstances there .... I wept while watching this. Peace.
