Ruthie and Rafi. Um Breakfast on the Class is dedicated for refuah shleimah of Eliyahu Shmuel ben Mordechai today. And for Chaim ben Feivel and Frieda. And continued health for Chana bat Simcha Feiga. Uh and dedicated finally loving memory of Daisy Ezer. L'ilui nishmat Daisy bat Gorgia on her fourth azkara by Sandy and Haron Schochet and family.

The issur is when you cause
