Are you Orthodox, Mouse120? Do you also live in NY? 
  
Nope, I don't live in NY.  I was raised Orthodox, but I'm not as observant these days.  The entire Jewish community world-wide has been praying for this little boy ever since the news broke that he was missing.  We're a close-knit bunch, so news of tragedy spreads quickly.  I feel so horrible for his family.
