From a speech Dennis Prager gave April 25<\/a> in Minneapolis to CUFI<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A minute into his talk, Dennis puts on his yarmulke to say a shehecheyanu<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Dennis: “I always get choked up when I do this. I make a little prayer to God that I will not cry at CUFI event.”<\/p>\n

“The shehecheyanu<\/a> prayer is — Blessed are you God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive and brought us to this moment.”<\/p>\n

Finishing the blessing in Hebrew, Dennis removes his yarmulke and puts it in his pocket.<\/p>\n

“It’s a powerful prayer. Jews say it only on special occasions. <\/p>\n

“Nothing is as powerful as Jews and Christians working together.<\/p>\n

“It’s thousands of years late, but it’s here.”<\/p>\n

“I was asked to speak many years ago by an Israeli group in Los Angeles. I remember taking the evening because I wanted to practice my Hebrew. They interviewed me in Hebrew. They asked me what do you consider yourself first — a Jew or an American?<\/p>\n

“I said, I have two fathers — Abraham and George Washington. I am twice blessed.”<\/p>\n

“This will help you understand why there is resistance in Jewish life to your magnificent outreach to the Jewish community. Jews don’t trust anybody. I do but most Jews don’t. There’s a voice in most Jews when they meet a Christian — if there were another Holocaust, would this person be a persecutor, a bystander or a rescuer?<\/p>\n

“They don’t tell you this. They won’t tell you this. It sounds sick.<\/p>\n

“Whenever I’m in your company, I believe I’m with rescuers.”<\/p>\n
