A 13-year-old New York boy who lost his father in the
9/11 terror attacks knows better than to be superstitious,
but he can’t help believing that the capture and killing of
Osama bin Laden last weekend was, in part, a bar mitzvah
message from his dad.
“I just know he was trying to talk to me,” said Jake Meltzer,
son of Stuart T. Meltzer, who died Sept. 11, 2001 on the 105
th floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower.
Jake completed the Jewish coming-of-age ceremony on
Saturday, hours before the elite U.S. Navy SEAL team
conducted a targeted raid that killed the man responsible
for the death of his father and nearly 3,000 others in the in the nation’s worst terror attack.
