I just received the following email (as part of a group list):

B’H Tinok ben Aviva is getting much stronger. It is surely due to all of your tefillos that he has come as far as he has in the last two weeks, and as he has a ways to go, please, please, please keep up the davening!

He’s a very special addition to Klal Yisroel who have all joined together in our tefillos for a refuah shlaimah for tinok ben Aviva, aka the little tzaddikel.

I was sent an email about a blog that “is dedicated to providing people with Chizuk and information about Tinok ben Aviva, the son of Rabbi Eytan and Rebbetzin Aviva Feiner who merited to give birth to their first child after 12 years of marriage.”
The address is http://tinok-ben-aviva.blogspot.com/
Click here to be directed to a recent speech that Rabbi Eytan Feiner gave.

In August, I wrote about the book JEWTHINK by R Avi Shafran.
I tip my black hat to A Simple Jew for schooling me the greatness of tinyurl, which as allowed me to add the text of JEWTHINK to my links list.

Dear readers,

Thanks to the generosity of the Agudath Israel Midwest Convention (more on the keynote addresses later), I have an extra copy of Meoros HaShabbos volume 1 in English, that I would be willing to send to a blog reader. I’ll be happy to send it to the first reader that emails me.

Hatzlacha!

Please read this post by R Harry Maryles and join in davening for his grandson.

It’s been a hectic week.
No time to really write, but here are some great links.
Have a great Shabbos Kodesh.

I just read at Dixie Yid, that Refael Moshe ben Miriam (Filler), needs a refuah. As a staff member at NCSY’s Camp Sports (1993-1996), I’ve seen first hand the success that R Filler has had with his kiruv program for Spanish speaking yidden. Please include this choleh in your tefillos.

Long time constistant Modern Uberdox blog commenter, Rafi G, (author of Life in Israel) just posted this.
Plenty of good reading!!

I am not one to make requests too often. In fact, I usually feel rather uncomfortable asking people for favors or help. This request, though, really isn’t for myself. Five months ago my children lost their Bubbie and last week they lost their Zaide. It has been a difficult time for my wife’s family. We are asking, if anyone is able, for people to learn L’zecher Nishmas for:
Rivka Bas Chaim Yosef and also for Dan Ben Aharon. Both of them were not only survivors of the Holocaust, but were zoche to see six wonderful grandchildren come into this world. They both were involved in helping a major force in Torah Judaism get its start in Long Island, and above all else, schepped nachas from all that their children and grandchildren did.

Again, if you can, please click on either of the links below to sign up to learn. Of course, you are not require to give out our real name.
Thank you.
