Never Too Late for Bar Mitzvah

Henry Oster, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor who lives in California, told himself in the past that he will never put on Tefillin.

On a visit to Israel, Henry met with Chabad Rabbi Shmuel Bistritzky who offered him to meet a fellow prisoner of the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany.

That person was former Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau. Their emotional meeting ended with Henry stretching out his left arm and putting on Tefillin for the first time.

It’s never too late to have your Bar Mitzvah.
