A Muqata reader sent in the following:
The Rein family from Karnei Shomron heard about their son Benaya's death in Lebanon the previous Sunday morning. That Sunday night Benaya's sister gave birth to a baby boy.
There were two signs up one next to the other in the shul in Karnei Shomron this week:
Monday, 10:00 AM at the Karnei Shomron cemetery: Getting up from the shiva - הציבור מוזמן. (translation: the public is invited)
Monday, 4:00 PM at shul in Karnei Shomron: Brit for the baby - הציבור מוזמן. This sign also included the passuk.

ואראה אותך מתבוססת בדמיך ואומר לך בדמיך חיי
The baby was of course, was named Benaya [Ori second name].
As Benaya's mother promised at her son's funeral, "We will keep building...and continue on."

Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael
An amazing story - quite symbolic of the Israeli spirit and exactly what I was talking about in my latest post at http://kicisrael.blogspot.com/2006/08/dead-sea-lessons.html
