"The hand of G-d was upon me, and He carried me out in the spirit of G-d, and He set me down in the midst of the valley, and it was full of bones. He made me pass by them around and around, and behold, there were very many over the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. And He said to me: 'Son of man, can these bones come alive?' And I said: 'L-rd G-d, You know.' And He said to me: 'Prophesy concerning these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, listen to the word of G-d! Thus said the L-rd G-d to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live; and I will lay sinews upon you, and bring flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath within you, and you shall live - and you shall know that I am G-d.' "  Ezekiel, chapter 37

Ezekiel's prophecy of the dry bones that miraculously became living people is, in a sense, the eternal story of the Jewish people.  In this deeply moving personal account, Rabbi Dr. Daniel Hershkowitz discusses the faith of his survivor-parents and the Divine Providence that brought him to stand with former chief rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, during the March of the Living, as they discovered the meaning of the word "miracle."
