David Seligman went through the Jewish rite of passage,
the bar mitzvah in his teens and in later yearsa rabbi.
Seligman preached from the heart in New York synagogues.
He revered Moses the lawgiver and liberator,
and Samson, the strongman and judge, who destroyed
the temple of the Philistines.
By chance, Seligman spoke to America on television
the day after President John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas.
Rabbi Seligman was the man for the occasion that Saturday:
'President Kennedy was a man who went to every country,
fought in every battle, and had to come back home
to our own country to be shot in the back'.
27/28 February,2018.

I would like to translate this poem
apt. So many get shot without going out. I wonder if it was the taste of bacon that turned him in his teens?
It could have been.
