I was sorting through the materials from last fall's Torah & Talmud study and liked this story that Jim had distributed:

"The Shabbat that Kept Rose"
I'll cut to the punchline because the story itself is too sentimental:

"There was an awful fire in the factory. Only forty people survived. There was no way out of the building. People even jumped to their deaths." Joe's voice was hushed, and he was crying openly.

"Rosie, don't you see? Because you kept Sabbath, you are alive. Because of your Sabbath, you survived."
