Dear Friends,

After much encouragement and help from our friends in the Five Towns
community, the Efrat/Gush Etzion Raise Your Spirits hit-musical production
of "ESTHER and the Secrets in the King's Court" is coming to the Five Towns.
At least in song.

"ESTHER" is the second production of the Raise Your Spirits company, which
was created last year in order to raise the spirits of the women of
Efrat/Gush Etzion after the tragic murder of our dear friend Sarah
Blaustein, hy'd. More than 6,000 women from throughout Israel shared the joy
of "JOSEPH and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" last year. And this year,
almost 10,000 women will have experienced the excitement of "ESTHER" by the
time its run is completed before Purim.

"JOSEPH" raised more than 140,000 NIS for families of terror victims.
"ESTHER" has already surpassed that amount, B"H.

Besides doing a tremendous mitzvah, ESTHER IS A FABULOUS SHOW. Many women
from the Five Towns had the opportunity to see the show when they were in
Israel during Chol HaMoed Sukkot and winter break.

Now the music of ESTHER has come to the Five Towns.

The ESTHER CD is available at Judaica Plus: 530 Central Avenue,
Cedarhurst, N.Y.
(516) 295-4343

It's also available by contacting Marjorie Glatt:
By email: aglatt@... or Marjorie@...
By phone: (516) 374-7495 (home)

What could be the most appropriate gift to give the women in the community
for Purim? A CD from "ESTHER and the Secrets of the King's Court"!!

Not only will women and girls of the Five Towns be singing the beautiful
ESTHER melodies, they'll be doing a tremendous mitzvah. Profits from all
ESTHER products - the production, the CD, ESTHER aprons, and ESTHER bags go
to the Gush Etzion Foundation to benefit families and communities that have
suffered from terror.

Any shuls or sisterhoods or individuals who would like to bulk order CDs,
aprons or tote bags for their Purim Mishloach manot can do so by emailing me
at the address above.

To find out more about the entire project, click onto
or listen to the Arutz 7 program that featured
ESTHER this week:

On Motzai Shabbos, February 1st, Rosh Chodesh Adar I, at 8:30 p.m., Aron
Razel will be joining us at Aish Kodesh for a special night of music (and,
as usual, Rav Weinberger will deliver divrei Chizuk during the break).
Aron, a classically trained musician from the Nachla'ot neighborhood of
Yerushalayim, is one of the most popular musicains in Eretz Yisrael. His
unique musical style combines elements derived from his classical training,
with a touch of jazz, and the influence of the music amd Torah of Reb Shlomo
Carlebach, z'l. Aron has produced and recorded four CDs, including the
number one CD in Israel of its genre, Redemption Time (Zman Hage'ulah) and,
most recently,(available in the US for the first time at Aish Kodesh) a
compilation of 11 rare songs of Reb Shlomo. Aron was a featured performer
at the two most recent Shlomo Carlebach Yahrtzeit concerts in Yerushalayim.
His first event at Aish Kodesh last June was a tremendous success and we
look forward to a very special evening. Admission is $15, $10 for students.

Aron will also be leading us in Kabbolas Shabbos on Friday night.

(Coming musical events: A pre-Purim bash with Avraham Rosenblum and the
Diaspora Band on motsai Shabbos, March 15th).

If you would like to receive a Tehillim Magnet Please sent a self-addressed

Rabbi Doctor Abraham Twerski, M.D. is coming to West Hempstead!!
We want to alert you to a wonderful and important guest coming to our
community. Rabbi Doctor Abraham Twerski will be at the Young Israel of West
Hempstead (YIWH), Sunday, February 2 at 7 p.m. (630 Hempstead Avenue). Rabbi
Dr. Twerski, is the author of 40 books and an outstanding speaker -
providing both an orthodox, Torah perspective and state-of-the-art medical
and scientific knowledge. He will provide insight and direction for a
growing epidemic of alarming proportions in the orthodox community - namely
substance abuse and chemical dependency. His talk is titled "I'd like to
call for help, but I don't know the number". Following his talk, he will be
available for a question and answer session and a schmooze. Refreshments
will be served. Rabbi Dr. Twerski is an internationally renowned expert on
chemical dependency and is Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the
University Of Pittsburgh School Of Medicine. He is founder and Medical
Director of one of the nation's 12 best drug and alcohol treatment centers.
Given the large numbers of children at risk within our community, this is a
perfect opportunity to become tuned in - our children's lives are at stake.
Many yeshivas are just beginning to realize and accept this as a disease,
and recognize their students at risk.

The disease is often present for years before the symptoms force the parents
to confront the thought that drugs or alcohol may be the source of their
son's problems. The orthodox community is not immune to this disease. Ask
your teen if he or she knows someone who drinks or uses drugs. Chances are
the answer is YES. The disease of drug and alcohol abuse is definitively
here in the New York Orthodox community.

The profits from our evening with Rabbi Dr. Twerski will be used to provide
support for RTA, Returning Teens Academy; a New York State Regents' approved
(and soon to be accredited) alternative Yeshiva with both Judaic and secular
studies, located in Woodmere, New York. It is the only Yeshiva in America
with a full-time therapeutic program, specializing in teens with substance
abuse issues. Under the expert guidance of Rabbi Dov Silver of RTA and Barry
Wilansky, MA, CASAC of Tempo Group, the program has a high success rate for
having students complete high school and go on to study in Israel, go to
college, or successfully enter the job market. It provides a highly
individualized, structured environment that includes psychologists,
psychiatrists, social workers and expert drug rehabilitation counselors.
Parent and family sessions are fully integrated into the program.
Admission is free, refreshments will be served and donations to RTA are
voluntary, but welcomed. Opportunities for sponsorship are still available.
Please call 516-292-7927 or email RTAfundraiser@.... Hope to see you
there!

Aish Kodesh is pleased to invite you to a special art fair featuring "Art of
Eretz Israel" that will take place this Sunday, Januray 26th from noon until
4 (so there will still be plenty of time for hachana for the Super Bowl).

Art of Eretz Israel is a group of Israeli artists who have pooled their
resources and are marketing directly to overseas clients. The works range
from original paintings, lithographs, prints, photos and posters, ceramics,
silver jewelry and Judaica, music CDs, hand painted silk painted challah
covers, gift baskets and flowers. All of their products are produced in
Eretz Yisrael.

They are feeling the effects of the economic downturn due to the lack of
tourists. Through 'buy Israeli' product fairs and Shul-hosted shows they are
marketing their products. They are very determined not to let the current
situation undermine their lives in Israel.

Please take this opportunity to support Israel, acquire beautiful art
and share a part of the creativity of Art of Eretz Yisrael.

Dear Member,

Auto dial sent out earlier this morning advised the membership that our
heating system is inadequate and overwhelmed by the current weather
conditions.

We suggest that you dress a bit warmer for shul this Shabbos.

Shabbat Shalom.

Though the initial shocks of September 11 have passed, the ongoing
threat of terror, our deep concern for Israel and the potential for
war in Iraq have impacted us all. How do we counsel and comfort our
clients, our congregants, our students and ourselves?
What can we do to provide reassurance and strength during these
uncertain times?

educational seminar addressing these critical issues, "Times of
Terror, Times of Resilience: A Jewish Response to Catastrophe and
Trauma" on Sunday, February 2, 2003. It will be held at Congregation

to respond to those in the Jewish community who have been affected by
September 11 and the terrorist acts in Israel. Yeshivat Chovevei
Torah last year held an unprecedented and groundbreaking conference
on "Mental Health and the Orthodox Community, A Day of Education and
Empathy", which drew over 400 people.

"Times of Terror, Times of Resilience" will include several sessions
which will address the issues faced by mental health practitioners,
Rabbis, Jewish Educators, parents and the broader Jewish community in
confronting trauma, grief, and the anxiety of adults and children
over terrorism and the violence in Israel. Admission to "Times of
Terror, Times of Resilience" is free.

"Times of Terror, Times of Resilience" will feature renowned experts
