A Jewish mother is walking with her small son along the shore, enjoying the sounds and smells of the ocean.

Suddenly, without warning, a huge wave comes in and washes the boy out to sea. The woman screams, but no one is nearby, and she cant swim. She sees her sons head bobbing up and down as he cries for help and moves farther and farther from shore.

Suddenly another huge wave crashes in, and deposits her son, wet but unhurt on the sand. She lifts her face to the heavens, extends both arms and cries…
