Praying for Daniel





10th April - Update: Raphael Daniel Aryeh ben Tamar (Viflic) remains in critical condition. His family asks for us all to pray for Daniel's life, and Be"H, his full recovery.



Previous Posting: 


The victim of yesterday's utterly evil missile attack upon a school bus near Gaza, was local Bet Shemesh/RBS resident, Daniel Viflic.

Daniel, just 16, is now fighting for his life, in critical condition, in Saroka Hospital, Beersheva, due to extensive injuries throughout his body, particularly to his head.

Daniel and his family are popular residents of the Ramat Bet Shemesh community. Daniel was reportedly on his way to visit his grandparents who live in the Negev. The family are regular attendees at my shul, Ohr Shalom, and Aish Kodesh, and are well known for their Chinese food businesses in the area.

Prayer sessions for Daniel are being held in local synogogues.

Please join all of us, in praying for the life and speedy recuperation of [Update 8/4/11 - New Name Added]: Raphael Daniel Aryeh Ben Tamar.

Rav Chaim's sons Rabbi  Yitzchak Zev (Reb Velvel) Soloveitchik ("The GRIZ" The Brisker Rov) and Rabbi  Moshe Soloveitchik seem to have gone in different hashkafik directions. Whereas Reb Velvel's descendents are predominantly right wing hareidim, Rav Moshe's branch are leaders in the Modern Orthodox/National Religious hashkafa – most notably Rav Joseph Ber Soloveitchik ("The Rav") ...

Hoax Letter Sent to Synagogue

Image
            (Beis Tefillah Synagogue, Ramat Beit Shemesh) The following hoax letter has been sent to members of the Beis Tefillah Synagogue board of management, as if it was written by Rabbi CM [ed. name respectfully withheld] who serves as their rabbi: I think that as long as David Morris sets policy for L.A [ed. Lema'an Achai ], and is their public face,  I will not allow L.A. to use the Shul for fundraising purposes. This will change if: 1)David M apologizes publicly for stating,and insinuating again and again(in many forums,but especially in his childish Tzedek Tzedek blog) that , as a group ,  "Rabbis" (of RBSA ) are guilty of aiding and abetting and enabling child molesters.(And that of course that leaves LA to come to the rescue of our children.) OR IF  2)LA  publicly , clearly,and unambiguously disavows such statements .They must say--we clearly,and unambiguously ,disavow  statements or...
