Nadav was a real mensch! He stopped about 100 meters short of the summit of Everest to help a fellow climber in trouble. Yasher koach, Nadav!
source: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7...235181,00.htmlIsraeli mountain climber Nadav Ben-Yehuda, 24, who rescued the life of a Turkish climber during an excursion on Everest Mountain, will receive a Presidential Medal of Honor during a ceremony at President Shimon Peres' residence in Jerusalem next month.
"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy." (Ps. 137: 5-7)"
"Any generation in which the Temple is not built, it is as if it had been destroyed in their times" (Yerushalmi, Yoma 1a).
Well deserved, Nadav Ben-Yehuda. One must wonder, how many folks passed-by the Turkish mountaineer for their personal moment of glory? I would suspect quite a few... apparently there are so many folks attempting to conquer Everest these days, it has caused gridlock.
