    Raphael Menashe Koppel ben Naomi was nifter Wednesday night.  I am only posting this because I know that many people have been davening, emailing me, and checking this blog for updates.  May those who took upon mitzvos and had extra kavana during their davening continue to do so, in memory of this young child. 


    The levaya for Menashe Koppel Cohen son of Todd and Naomi Cohen will take place tomorrow (Thursday) at Waldheim 1600 S Des Plaines Gate 58 at 11 am

    Please continue davning for a Neis Nigleh on behalf of Refoel Menashe Koppel ben Naomi

    Please continue davening, learning, doing chessed, taking on a higher level of observance, of whatever else you can do and have in mind (or make a verbal statement) that you are doing so in hope of a Neis Nigleh (an open miracle) on behalf of Refoel Menashe Koppel ben Naomi.


    The Facebook group Save Koppel!! was recently started, as well.

    No, not R.E.M.’s seventh album, but just my way of saying that I’m on a blog break until June 14th.  Thanks for taking time to read this.


    Yeah, I used strikethrough.  I realized that had a slew of postings that I was “finishing up” or a grand post that could only be revealed on June 14th, or if I posted daily, then an official break would be in order.  I tend to post when the mood strikes.  I know that I lose readers, but I have a secret…I really don’t post for readers (even though comments and emails always make me feel good), I post because I like to.
