The Lengthy Morning Service That Saved Ten Lives

A group of men who worked in the Twin Towers would gather daily to recite the Morning prayers at a Minyan near the Towers. On the morning of September 11, 2001, they had to wait longer than usual for their tenth man. Finally, an older man they didn’t know appeared and said that he had to say Kaddish and wanted to lead services. He did so at a very slow pace that made the others anxious about being late. Before he finished they heard an explosion, and realized that they all should have been in the building were it not for the stranger’s sluggish Shacharis. He was gone before they could thank him, even before they could learn who he was.
