"And the fountain reaches up to Heaven..."

Uploaded: September 14, 2013

Description


----

Garden of Reflection, the Pennsylvania 9/11 Memorial Park, features a symbolic pool and twin fountains, surrounded by a wall on which the names of all of the Pennsylvanians who were lost "that day" are inscribed. The theme of the park is "After Darkness...Light."
----
During the service last Wednesday evening, as Rabbi Yudy Shemtov spoke the words, "And God said 'Let there be Light' ...and there WAS light," the fountain shot up, "reaching up towards the heavens."
