Bochurim Shmulik Cyprys and Mendy Reicher, on Merkos shlichus in Highland Lakes, Florida for the summer, are visiting local Jews in their homes and offices, offering a chance to put on Tefillin.
In between office visits, the two met a man standing outside.
“We asked him if he was Jewish,” Cyprys told COLlive, “he said, ‘a little.'”
“My mother was Jewish but she passed away. I never had a Bar Mitzvah,” the man said.
The bochurim helped him put on Tefillin for the first time, and he celebrated his Bar Mitzvah right there.
“That was my best cigarette break ever,” he told them afterwards. “My mother must be happy.”
They look put together. No surprise. They are Australian!!!
