While in Ethiopia, we had the privilege of meeting the legendary Dr. Rick. He has lived in Addis for 21 years and is a doctor at Mother Theresa's Mission. He cares for the "least of these" every day. He has adopted 5 teenage Ethiopia boys and cares for 15 more children in his home. Every Friday night he opens his home to any visitors that would like to come for the Shabbat meal. It was a moving experience at he recited age old passages in Hebrew, blessed all the children and prayed for the sick. He kept it lighthearted by asking everyone to go around the circle and answer the Question of the Week. And after he had prayed over the bread. He broke off pieces and tossed them to each person in the circle. The link above will take you to a slide show of this amazing man. I believe a documentary of his life will soon be released at well.
