Dear Rabbi,
I had to write you after observing the actions of one of
your students from the Cooper Yeshiva School this afternoon at the USJ cross
country meet. I was watching my son's team, Germantown High School, run the
race when one of his teammates suddenly collapsed. Your student, Seth
Goldstein,stopped racing when he saw the boy was in trouble having a seizure.
He called for help and I ran over there and he guided me and others through
what we needed to do as this boy was in distress, reassuring us along the way that
this young man was going to be alright.
I kept thinking he was maybe someone's dad, maybe a doctor or an EMT . I
realized he was a race participant only after the ambulance arrived and my
son's teammate was in the hands of professionals. Seth only then excused
himself to complete the race. And I realized he was a race participant. What a
fine young person that you are educating at Cooper Yeshiva! I was very impressed by Seth's character,
staying calm in an emergency and putting his first aid skills to use, and most
especially by his unselfishness in forgoing his race opportunity until he
realized the young man was out of harm's way.
I was equally impressed by his perseverance and determination to
complete the race after tending to the needs of a student from another school.
What a great young man! I'll always cheer for the boys from Cooper Yeshiva
after today's race and Seth's beautiful display of humanity. Keep up the great work you are doing over
there at Cooper Yeshiva. Memphis needs
more young men like Seth around!
Sincerely,
Jessica Chandler
