Chai Lifeline - Message from Yocheved Wylen

PS I don't usually make my emailing services available, but I decided to forward this email for Shaul and Yocheved as a one-time thing.

Dear Family and Friends,

 

            As many of you already know, I have started to train to run a 13.1 mile marathon this winter to help raise money for Chai Lifeline.  

           

            Chai Lifeline is an international organization that provides year-round emotional, social, and financial support to more than 3,000 children and their families every year. Chai Lifeline's goal is to bring joy to children and hope to their families, enabling them to live full and happy lives despite the presence of illness.

           

            I will be running the half marathon in memory of Shaul's mother, Deanna Wylen (Chana Zelda) who lost her life to cancer in October 2002.  Unfortunately I never had the chance to meet my mother in law but I know she was an outstanding example of constant giving to everyone she knew.  I would like to use this opportunity to give back a bit of what she gave to me. 

           

            I've pledged to raise a minimum of $5,000.00 to this unique organization, and I hope you will be able to help me reach this goal. Please contribute, either by visiting my personal web page at the Team Lifeline website at http://www.teamlifeline.org/mypage.php?myid=55351 or by sending a check to my home, at 2175 Kerwin Road, Apt 506 , Cleveland Ohio , 44118 , made payable to Chai Lifeline. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

           

            I will definitely keep you posted with my progress as a developing marathon runner!

 

Fondly,

 

Yocheved Wylen

 

P.S. Please feel free to forward this to anyone who might be interested in supporting Chai Lifeline

HJC Rosh Hashana - Yom Kippur Opportunity

The Mishna Berura (Ch. 584:S.K.8) quotes the great compendium on all Yomim Noraim matters, the Mateh Ephraim, as follows: 

"It is appropriate for every G-d fearing man to make an effort to get an Aliyah on the Yomim Noraim (Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur). Even in places where the Aliyos are usually auctioned off [to the wealthy], one should "purchase" an Aliya for that time of year for as much as his means allow. 

"[And lest one think that there is something degrading about purchasing an Aliya at such a holy time of year, the truth is] just the opposite: There is greater spiritual advantage in a Mitzvah that comes one's way through monetary expenditure than in a Mitzvah that has come one's way free of charge."

In the coming week, representatives of the shul will be offering some of you the opportunity to "purchase" an aliya for the upcoming Yomim Tovim.  They will not be able to contact everyone.  If you are interested in taking the initiative in acquiring this merit for yourself or someone else and investing in our Kehilla at the same time, please call the office (216-382-1958), or contact Martin Lipman at Martin.Lipman@infores.com, or Gershon Ireland at gershon7@aol.com.
