[TA] Toras Aish - Vayechi

[Yitz Weiss]

My cousin, Chavi Willig Levy, who had polio as a child and now gets around
using a motorized wheelchair, has just released her memoirs! She's a very
accomplished author and speaker. I encourage you to check out her website,
read a few chapters of the book there and then order a copy! I know you
won't be disappointed!

Please also read below for a mitzva opportunity.

Have a great Shabbos!

Yitz

PS - For those who appreciate some good pun (or at least a groaner), please
email me back and I'll add you to my "Parsha Puns" email list!

Subject: Help Desperately Needed
Our  six-year-old son, Refael Elisha, was diagnosed with a rare malignant
brain tumor. There is a medication which may save his life, as well as that
of two other children, but the FDA has not made it available yet. If we
 can obtain 100,000 signatures, the FDA will have to address this pressing
issue.
We are asking the FDA to grant us a compassionate use of an experimental
medication that may have the potential to save the life of our 6-year old
and two other kids with rare brain cancer.
We strongly believe that we can accomplish this. I am asking you to please
sign the petition and forward this to your friends and ask them to sign. It
takes only few minutes!
Please help us help Rafael Elisha and other kids to get this medication.
Thank you in advance,
Yaakov & Devorah Cohen

Golan Heights in August 1997;
