Mazel Tov

Mazel Tov to Rabbi and Mrs. Aaron Moshe and Avigayil Gartner upon the marriage last night of their daughter Sarala to Shmuly Ungarischer in Lakewood. (Rabbi Gartner is the Rebbe of our Kinyan Mesechta Program, weekdays at 6:00 a m.)

Mazel Tov to Reb Baruch & Rebecca Blum on the birth of a baby boy. May they merit to make the Bris on time and may they merit to raise him to Torah, Chuppah, and Ma’asim Tovim!

The subject of this volume is ordinary lives lived with dignity, for such lives are often the most meaningful and instructive.



Middlemarch: “The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts, and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs.”

In the Author’s Preface, Jonathan Rosenblum, describes these one hundred pieces, written over three decades, as forming a sort of ethical will to his descendants, both those now living and those yet unborn. The message: Look for the good in every person, learn from that good, and use the wisdom thus attained to improve your own life and the lives of everyone with whom you come into contact.

We have 8 copies of Rabbi Rosenblum's latest book, "Ordinary Greatness:  100 Songs of Praise"

To purchase zelle $25 to link@linkla.org with 100 songs in memo.

Friendly Reminders for Shabbos Morning Children’s Groups

1. Parent(s) MUST remain in the LINK building for the entire duration of the time that they leave their children at Shabbos Groups. 

2. For everyone's safety as well as for our congregants’ ability to be to daven with kavanah, please make sure that your child is either in their designated group or in the shul sanctuary supervised by you. We cannot have children roaming the hallways, or running in and out of the sanctuary, kitchen or classrooms.

3. As soon as davening ends, please go to your child's group and pick them up from the designated room.

The above rules will be strictly enforced!
