Hirshel: I turn to you once more, as I've done in the past. Your readers have been very kind in previous years and I hope they can be kind again this year. I am on my way with a few others to a small town in Virginia to bring the Festival of Liberation ככל משפטו וחקתו to a Jew who hasn't celebrated it in 9 years. Yitzy, (not his real name) lives in a shack without running water or a bathroom. He comes from a prominent religious family and is still frum but suffers from mental illness and is isolated from his family and society. This is but one of several endeavors that me and a few others have undertaken; namely, to help those that would otherwise be forgotten. The expenses are great and I won't be able to afford the whole thing alone. If you can please PayPal Nathan2000@aol.com you will have helped me with this great mitzva.
