PLEASE HELP WITH THE SHIVA MINYANIM

Hilly,

Several Jewish websites are requesting that everybody sign a petition on behalf of Shalom Rubashkin.

The White House

has set up an Official petition website, that guarantees an investigation and response, if a threshold of 5000 signatures in 30 days is met. Since yesterday, the petition has gathered close to 10,000 signatures!

However, THE MORE THE BETTER!

When I signed up, after a quick perusal,

I noticed that there were less than 10 signatures from Los Angeles

Perhaps the Oilam is not aware of this

This doesn't cost money. It's just a few minutes of your time before Yom Hadin to help another Yid and his Family fight the injustice that was served on them.

All you need to do is go to

wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#

create an account and then sign the petition.

In this Zechus, may we all be Gebentched with a K'sivah V'chasimah Tovah and a Gut Yuhr.

Shlomo Yehuda Rechnitz

B"H

Dear Friend,

The White House today released a new tool to allow people to influence government called

"We the People."

It is essentially a petition site, and they promise: "If a petition meets the signature threshold, it will be reviewed by the Administration and an official response will be issued. And we'll make sure that the petition is sent to the appropriate policy makers in the Administration."

The White House promises an official response to every petition that garners at least 5000 signatures in a span of 30 days.

In this auspicious time - Chodesh Harachamim- we can make a difference to help Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin!

A petition has been opened for him.

Time is of the essence!

Please send this petition to your communities and urge them to sign up.

To create an account on
WhiteHouse.gov and sign the petition, go to this link: http://wh.gov/gWM

After you sign it, please forward this email to your friends and family, and post it on your facebook status!

The link to facebook and twitter accounts is on the bottom of the petition.

This is really important for the next step in Sholom Rubashkin's road to freedom!

Wishing you a L'Shana Tova Umesuka!

1) Visit http://wh.gov/gWM

2) Click "Create An Account" and fill out form

3) Check your email and click link

4) Click "Sign This Petition"

Michal Poratti

Los Angeles, California

How is your Hero working to make the world a better place?

Ask any 5 year old girl about her future wedding and they will mostly likely pull out their scrapbook with all the detailed magazine clippings they have collected with pictures of their dress, the music, food, and of course, the elaborate and beautiful flower centerpieces. When the time comes, the wedding that our daughters dreamt of may not be the one that can be given. Michal Poratti has dedicated, among many things, her time and effort in making sure every girl's dream comes true on her wedding day. She spends countless hours selecting the very best silk flowers and arranging one-of-a-kind centerpieces. Anyone who has seen her work has been left speechless. Michal asks for nothing in return and truly gives of herself to her organization, Yad Simcha, just to see a bright smile. Michal and her 6 kids also arrange flowers for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, banquets, you name it. If flowers are needed, Michal is most likely already on it. Michal is like the Energizer Bunny and works around the clock to make sure everything is done on time. She and her kids organize the drop off, arrangement on site, and pick up of all flowers. She is a one-man band but one would think she has 100 people working for her. Tomchei Shabbos provides Michal with the needed space to store her treasures.

Please tell Governor Brown that he should sign AB 1151,
the "Divest from Iran Act"

AB 1151: The Divest From Iran Act (Feuer/Blumenfield):

For decades,

California has engaged in socially responsible investing, from divesting pension funds from companies supporting apartheid in South Africa in the 1980s to imposing sanctions for human rights violations in Sudan. This bill would bring new levels of transparency and accountability to California's public pension funds, while helping ensure that taxpayer dollars do not go toward investing in companies that do business with Iranian energy interests. The state has the responsibility to decide how and where its financial resources should be invested, and those resources should not support Iran's brutal regime.

You can call the Governor's office at (916) 445-2841

or send an email through this portal.

The Governor has until October 9

to act. Please contact him now.

Best wishes for a Gut Gebenched Yor,

Dr. Irving Lebovics

Dear All,

We have had a wonderful beginning at the New LINK Kollel.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UPLIFITNG SUPPORT

Many hundreds of people are coming to learn weekly.

Shabbos has been very beautiful, b'Chasdei Hashem

As we walk into Rosh Hashana, we ask that you join our campaign. Like most ascendant Torah organizations, LINK is money-lite and nachas-heavy.

Please read on for a few more details

B'vracha,
Asher Brander

What's with the new home?
After nine wonderful years in Westwood - as guests in the gracious Westwood Kehilla - on September 1, 2011 LINK is moving to the heart of the Pico-Robertson community (1453 S. Robertson Blvd.) and creating our own vibrant center of learning and davening. In this new exciting venue, we aim to touch thousands of more Jewish lives.

What is LINK?
LINK brings alive the wisdom of thousands of years of classical Jewish scholarship to Jews in Los Angeles, regardless of their prior Jewish background.

At its very core, LINK is a classic Kollel of advanced young scholars which aims to impact beyond the four walls of its Beis Medrash through:

Torah Learning for Collegiates, Skills Beis Medrash, Gemara in Your Kup, Outreach Center, 40+ Weekly Chavrusas, Early Morning Beis Medrash, Yeshiva for a Day, Dating-Marriage-Parenting Seminars and Counseling, Shabbatons with World Renowned Speakers, Inspiring Davening, Explanatory Services, and Women's Spirituality Programs. It is authentic Torah Judaism - whenever, whatever, however. A UCLA student returning from Israel, a man in his 50's learning Gemara for the first time, a young woman discovering her Jewish identity- these are just some of the faces seen at LINK everyday.

What's this Campaign about?
After investing nine years and well over 4 million dollars into the broader Los Angeles Jewish Community, LINK is seeking your partnership to help us with the major new expenses of creating and building our very own shul and learning center.

What is LINK's fundraising goal?
Our goal is to raise $100,000 by the end of September. This campaign starts now. We've already secured $15,612 in commitments for the first year in our new location!
We are looking for at least 150 people to commit to donating a minimum of $54 a month for the next 12 months, beginning now.

That sounds very doable! How can I help?
