לאחר מכן שוחחו והתברכו מראש הישיבה מרן הגר"ג אדלשטיין ומשם פנו למעונו של מרן הגר"ש וואזנר שהאציל מברכותיו עליהם
בכל מהלך הביקור התלווה אליהם ר' יודל יאקב מי שעוסק רבות ומוסר נפשו למען האסירים ביפן
I find it amazing that this photo, taken so many years ago, actually still
exists! And now, someone has put it online for all of us to see. This
INCREDIBLE picture was taken in 1918.
It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge , in

We've all got them: friends who volunteer to drive on a night out. Complete angels and total heroes, every last one of them. We believe they deserve a special thank you. Not just a merry slap on the back. Not just hiccup of gratitude.
They deserve free 'Coca-Cola'.
That's why, this Christmas, when designated drivers buy one 'Coca-Cola', they get two more free at any participating pub. It's the perfect Christmas gift for all the angels and heroes out there.

I am sure that you are all still in shock after hearing the terrible news coming out of India. One of the victims was a personal friend of mine, and I am deeply grieved at this terrible loss. Bentzy Kruman was a father of 3 young children. A person that had a great attitude and made everybody feel good in his presence. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. A group of prominent Rabbonim and community askonim, have put together a fund to help support the young widow and her children. I respectfully ask that you visit the special website which has been set up for this purpose, and make a donation in whatever sum you can generously donate for this family. May Hashem give them and us the strength to carry on with life and may we only hear good tidings. Thank you, http://www.krumanfoundation.org/ PS- Feel free to forward this email to your personal contacts. Tizku L'Mitzvos |
