Prior to Yom Kippur, we make all types of Kabbalos to better ourselves and help us achieve a positive outcome in our yearly judgment. Our very lives depend on it. Purim provides an even greater opportunity. Chazak reveal that Yom Ki’Purim is a day that is “like Purim”. This means that Purim is the ultimate day of prayer, even greater than Yom Kippur. With a firm commitment to Stop The Talking In Shul, we can effect change and facilitate yeshuos and refuos for all of Klal Yisroel! Watch this MUST SEE video and on Purim and beyond you will soar to the greatest of heights. If you haven’t yet made the kabbalah, now is the time to do so.

The following is the unfortunate reality facing one Lakewood family today: No one should ever know what it means to hear “cancer” and “diagnosis” in the same sentence. When these parents heard those dreaded words regarding their 5 year old son R”l, they were at once devastated and committed to help and the entire family pull through the harrowing ordeal. The mother committed to be there for her children, so that they can resume a healthy daily routine and enjoy the warmth of a yiddishe mama amidst unthinkable pain. At the same time, the father undertook to be at his son’s bedside around the clock, through painful treatment after painful treatment. In order to do so, the father had to quit his job. Baruch Hashem, the treatments were successful. The boy is back home.

This year, more than ever before, with the current difficult matzav for acheinu b’nei yisroel in general and B’nei Torah in particular, there is just so much negativity worldwide. We now have a unique opportunity to portray a beautiful and positive message about our simchas Purim.
