A short visit, a song, a prayer, a blessing, or a verse or two of Torah makes a huge impact in the life of a senior, whether they have been connected or disconnected from Jewish life for years. Especially if you are not (or were not) available to visit your own family members, it's like paying it forward -and an honor and a privilege to be there for someone else's parent or grandparent.Donna DeBenedetto Barwaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09258982132384120540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736878341948208679.post-34443183003983466732010-08-01T18:13:38.059-07:002010-08-01T18:13:38.059-07:00I have patronized a small kosher restaurant in my ...I have patronized a small kosher restaurant in my community, where the owner & chief cook (a woman) was told that her approval would be removed if she insisted on continuing to wear pants instead of a skirt whilst cooking...her safety was secondary - she must think of being dressed "appropriately and modestly whilst in the kitchen cooking over flames and vats of grease...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687366047810113299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736878341948208679.post-51639318271446723842010-08-01T09:37:16.754-07:002010-08-01T09:37:16.754-07:00I have heard of the happening on the East coast be...I have heard of the happening on the East coast before but never knew anyone that actually seen it first hand......I could go further but I am assuming that this a family site...<br /><br />LarryGamm Partnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479234712768648561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736878341948208679.post-63298661245368178072010-07-18T09:40:51.446-07:002010-07-18T09:40:51.446-07:00Thank you Rabbi for sharing this.

Monday on Yom haZicharon. Being here for those three emotion packed moments when the siren sounds and all activity ceases certainly places one in the right frame of mind for welcoming Yom haAtzmaut and truly appreciating the miracle that is Israel.תמרhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720646303335540919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736878341948208679.post-44273805803814846632010-03-04T23:37:54.524-07:002010-03-04T23:37:54.524-07:00That is so powerful!

The purose of this NPO is to teach people with disabilities the skills they need to have their own business, provide resources, and low interest loans.<br /><br />I grew up in an era when people with disabilities had few opportunities for an education or employment. As a child growing up in a dysfunctional family where there was a lot of physical, emotional, and verbal abuse--I would always question "Why Me?" Eventually I began to realize that G-d had a purpose for me, my struggles led to this road.<br /><br />For anyone who would like to read my story--you can go to my website at:<br /><br />http://www.1personalcareercoach.com<br /><br />and you can also make a donation to my organization.<br /><br />Davida Shensky, President<br />Career Performance Institute<br />Founder of IDE, Inc.succoachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057464671941385194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736878341948208679.post-69073475157080257502009-08-28T13:09:00.585-07:002009-08-28T13:09:00.585-07:00Inspiring and motivating!

I believe now more than ever people are waking up and realizing the world we have created can no longer survive. I believe people are starting to see that we are at the point of breaking and I'm looking forward to the day when the WHOLE world will wake up, connect back with nature and with their own divine selves, and take back the power that is within us. I'm ready for the day when poeple stop looking else-where to save them, stop waiting for the miracle, and start making the life that they want on their own, start loving each and every being on this planet and enjoying the incredibly perfect universe we live in! One DAY SOON! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369770305993426812noreply@blogger.com
