A Magnificent Gesture (Mitzvah) in memory of Shoshie

Dear Mike and Denise

I hope you are finding the strength to endure and having some form of healing as time goes forward.  I wanted to let you know we are launching a special gemach (Tables and Chairs) that the anonymous donor has sponsored in memory of Shoshie a"h.  (A gemach is a somewhere you turn to if you need something, don't want to own it, or you don't have money for it, you just want to borrow it, no cost)

The announcement will be this shabbos and I wanted you to know first.  I hope and pray that all the chesed done through this gemach will serve to elevate her special neshama and that you find comfort from this new project. The Gemach is being established at Boca Raton Synagogue. (Below is more information)

P.S. My own p.s. is that without even speaking to us -that this is the exact kind of gemach that we would have chosen on shoshie's behalf. Our family has dedicated itself to hachnasas orchim, (hospitality to guests), classes and programs and all sorts of joyous gatherings. Indeed having a gemach in shoshie's name of tables and chairs makes us so happy -its perfect





Here are the rules:
