I feel like - I know the Lubavitchers would never ever do this - I feel like she should be the one to take care of him now that his parents are gone. She has demonstrated as much maternal love as his own mother could have. Look, adoptions don't have to occur between wealthy parents and disadvantaged children - I can't help but feel that there is no one in the world better equipped to be his mother now.

She's the closest he'll have to a mother for the rest of his life. Either Israel or the US *SHOULD* do something for her although I'm wondering if, at the very least, that Chabad-Lubavitch organization will take care of her.

Hopefully that kid won't remember much about that day. That's a horrible thing to witness. But kudos to the nanny. Would any of us be that brave under the circumstances?

The US government might consider giving her citizenship (if she's interested).

I really, really hope that the state of Israel will do the right thing and take care of this woman financially......but I doubt it.

She risked her life to save the baby and yet, she's too humble to call herself a hero. A truly noble person.

One can only hope she's not beating herself up too badly for not going back. She's a hero!

Ma'am, you did not just run out. You saved the child's life.
