Points to Ponder On I hereby take upon myself to fulfill the mitzvah, "Love your fellowman as yourself".

FINISH THE WORK STARTED OVER 200 YEARS AGO!

Dear Chaver (Friend) of Breslov Research Institute,

The response thus fourth has been phenomenal. We have been humbled by your help. Over the last few weeks we have received more then $40,000 in pledges. Thank you and may you be blessed with a Gmar Chasima Tova!

This project is projected to cost over $100,000 and although we are now moving along nicely Baruch HaShem, there is still much to do. Many great opportunities are still available. Please join us and with your assistance we will have Likutey Moharan Vol. 14 available by Purim time and then rejoice together at the final Siyum the following year.

An updated list of lessons still available for dedication can be viewed here.

Or for a generous contribution of $180 you can sponsor a page of Likutey Moharan with an opportunity to dedicate that page in honor or in memory of the person of your choice. Upon completion of the project, you will receive a complimentary copy sent directly to your home.

So please join us for the final leg of this project and be sure to share this opportunity with your friends.

Please take a few minutes to watch this video, in which Rabbi Kramer gives more details about this amazing project.

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells
disaster. The stroke victim could suffer brain damage during a critically short period while people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Here's good news, though: An alert bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

*Ask the individual to SMILE.

*Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

*Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently, for example, "It is sunny out today").

If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately (or in Israel, 101) and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

After discovering that a group of non-medical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting last February. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis, treatment of the stroke, prevention of brain damage, and saving of lives.

Knowledge of the easy tips in this post could help you save another person's life, maybe even a loved one. Saving a life is one of the loftiest mitzvas in the Torah; the more you pass this article on to others, the more merit in potential lifesaving you accrue. It's that simple.

Remember: A stroke occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted by a blockage or breakage of blood vessels. This may be a life threatening condition. The faster you react, the greater the chances of saving the victim's life and preventing permanent damage.

May Hashem send a speedy recovery to all the sick, amen.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert

A couple of days ago I heard on CNN, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announcing that he has Prostrate cancer.

This is terrible and sad news, and I think that we should all start praying that Hashem be merciful with him and cure him.

Probably some of you think that he deserves this cancer and probably more for all what he has done, but let me tell you that he is a Jew, yes he is a Jew, the same as you and me, and we must love him and desire the best for him, also we are not called upon to judge him, that corresponds to Hashem.

Ponder for a while and get rid of all negative thoughts toward him and meditate on all what has befallen on Eretz Israel and you will see that it's Hashem's doing and that we are the only ones to blame; yes we are the only ones that have caused all what has happened and happening; Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is just a tool for Hashem's doings.

We don't live like Jews, we are living immodestly, we don't study Torah, we don't pray, we insult, criticise, hold grudges and slander our fellowman, and other terrible things which have obliged the Shechinah to withdraw from Eretz Israel.

If worse things have not happened, it's only because of the prayers of the few righteous Chassidim that are carrying the heavy burden on their shoulders and Hashem is merciful by listening to their prayers on our behalf.

The reason we should love our fellowman is because he is you and you are him, and you are them and they are you.

Let's stop insulting, aggravating, being disrespectful toward our fellowman and start living like real Jews; returning to Torah, Mitzvot, Tzedaka, Praying, refining our character, changing egoism for altruism.

So therefor, let's pray for the prompt recuperation for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and that all of our Leaders, return to Torah, so that Eretz Israel again can have the Schechinah abiding in it's midst.
