Subject: Next Worldwide Tehillim Effort for Women

Jewish women around the world once again will be joining
together in the spirit of achdut (unity) on Rosh Chodesh Av , which
begins the evening of July 16 and continues through July 17 . In
numerous communities around the globe, women will be reciting tehillim
(psalms) and learning about the mitzva of ahavat yisrael.
The effort is being coordinated by KEY (Kof-Yud), an acronym for
"Kulanu Yehudim, Kulanu Yachad," a grassroots group of women dedicated
to promoting ahavat yisrael. Ninety-eight communities, from Hong Kong to
Jerusalem to Phoenix, joined the first worldwide tehillim effort for
women in March.
This effort has the endorsement of many rabbanim
including: Rav Avrohom Pam, Rabbi Shmuel Kaminetsky, Rabbi Yaakov
Perlow, Rabbi Chaim Benoiliel, and Rabbi Yosef Harari-Raful, and many
others, both from Ashkenazi and Sephardi communities.
The purpose of the Rosh Chodesh event is two-fold. The first is
to unite women in tfilla (prayer). As numerous Jews worldwide have
recently experienced hardships, illness and personal pain, prayers are
particularly important at this time. Women in numerous communities will
therefore be reciting the same chapters of tehillim --b'achdut --on Rosh
Chodesh Av.
The second purpose is to encourage each person to take on
additional acts of chessed (kindness), since achdut (unity) can be best
achieved though kindness, tolerance and understanding. These acts of
chessed can include visiting the sick, helping poor or orphaned brides
to marry, hosting guests, helping a child with special needs, reaching
out to the elderly, helping the unemployed to find a job, or assisting
the poor. Each person should take on whatever chessed is closest to her
heart. Chessed can be acts of kindness that benefit one's community --
or simple acts of love and understanding that bring peace to one's
family or friends.
Many women on Rosh Chodesh Av will also be dedicating three
minutes a day to learning about the mitzva of va'ahavta l'reacha k'mocho
(love thy neighbor). This effort entails committing to learning with a
partner (friend, relative or husband) for at least three minutes a day
about this mitzvah and discussing ways to increase ahavat yisrael.
Specifically recommended are sefarim such as "Ahavas Chessed" by the
Chofetz Chaim (available in English), Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the
Fathers), and pertinent chapters of "Strive for Truth" (R. Eliyahu
Dessler).
For more information, contact KEY by phone: 718-436-5500 or by
fax: 718-851-2803 or 201-837-7444, or e-mail Sha...@aol.com.

Subject: Request for Tehilim

15 Tammuz, 5746
July 2, 1996
Dear Fellow Jew,
I am writing to you asking for your help. Our family is currently in a
spiritual crisis. Our eldest sister, daughter and friend is engaged to
marry a non- Jew.
How, you may ask, can you help?
Please say Tehilim for Shaindel bat Liba. Help us in our prayers to Hashem
that this wedding should not happen. He surely cannot ignore the prayers
of so many. We ask that you tell as many people as possible about this, so
that they, too, will daven for her. Since Shaindel is now in her 28th
year, it is especially appropriate to say Tehilim 28, in addition to others
normally said in times of crisis (20, 23, 121, 130, 142, 6, 10, 13, 16, 22,
25, 31, 32, 37, 38, 39, 41, 43, 51, 57, 59, 63, 69, 71, 74, 90, 91, 102,
103, 107, 116, 118, 140, 143). Please say as many as you have time for
each day.

In addition, if you happen to be going to see a Rav, please ask for a
bracha (blessing) for Shaindel bat Liba. If you are giving Tzedaka, please
give it in her name.

For HaShem to listen to our prayers, we must build up many merits in
Shaindel's name. We thank you in advance for your help in our efforts to
save Shaindel's neshama.

Thank you

Subject: Urgent Plea

I am posting this as a favor to someone. Thanks.

Dear Family and Friends,
Our good friend Miriam's daughter needs neurosurgery to remove a
rare, deeply situated colloid cyst from the third chamber of her brain.
This procedure has been successfully performed at the Johannes
Guttenberg Clinic at Mainz University in Germany.The estimated cost of
the surgery and the expenses around it is $50,000 The family needs our
financial help.
Yona is 29 years old and a physician herself. She put herself
through medical school in Jerusalem by cleaning houses and working in
the hospital. Today she is serving in the IDF and working in the
emergency room at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv. Her salary is donated to
LIBI - a soldiers' welfare fund. After Yona collapsed she underwent two
operations to relieve the pressure caused by the cyst.There is danger of
recurrence and danger of infection.Removal of the cyst is most urgent.
If you would like more details, please feel free to ask. If we pool
our resources we can help Yona.

For a U.S. tax deduction follow these steps (1, 2, 3-very important and 4)
1. write your check out to: PEF Israel Endowment Funds, Inc.

Please ask others to help as well.
