Micol's Gift- <top>
This past week, the world lost someone very special. Her name was Micol Cohen. She was thirty-four years old, and died suddenly in a car (ATV) accident in Los Angeles. Everybody loved Micol. She was full of life, happiness, and an unquenchable love for spiritual growth. No matter what the situation, Micol was optimistic and able to lift up everyone she came into contact with. What was her secret? As friends and family gathered in her apartment to sort out her belongings, they found a manifesto she'd handwritten called "G-d is Everywhere" that she placed on the wall next to her bed so that she could see it everyday. On it Micol condensed thousands of pages of Torah learning onto one sheet of paper. It has the feel of a Jewish Classic that will give all who read it daily inspiration. While Micol prepared it only for herself, her parents have given permission for it to be shared. It is a legacy. A gift of life from a person bursting with life. May it be an aliyahs neshama, an eternal uplift for the precious soul of our dear and greatly missed friend Micol bat Shlomo HaCohen, a"h.

What is Shabbos to the Happy Minyan? <top>
“It’s a great mitzvah to always be happy”
—Rebbe Nachman s
The Soul of Shabbos
by Reb Shlomo Carlebach
Shabbos invites all those who need new energy, all those who have been broken by the world of the six days, who need the world of Shabbos to make their brokeness whole again.
Shabbos invites all those who have so far only felt the pain of life and are crying for the joy, the bliss, the unbelievable heavenliness of being alive in a world created by G-d.
Shabbos invites all those who are tired of walking slowly, who only cover a spiritual inch per lifetime on their journeys. Shabbos invites all those who have travelled through the valleys of sadness, of waiting and waiting all the time. Shabbos is to get to the top of the mountain in one second, and there discover even higher mountains that we may have
never ever seen before.
Will you accept the invitation of Shabbos?
