Dear Friends,

I want to wish a special thank you to mother-in-law and Leigh M., for arranging the school/garage sale on Sunday. A goodly number of items were sold and some cash raised for Simcha Esther's organization the JEA.

Also thanks to all the volunteers who helped out: Raizy G., Danielle and Rafael Z., Chaya Ita L., Dovid C., Talya B., Dena M., Yaakov and Rus P. (there may be more folks that I don't know about: thank you too!)

Many thanks to Jessica Abo of NY1 for her TV piece on Simcha Esther and the film.

Blessings,

Yoni

We will be selling Art materials, furniture, practical life supplies, Montessori materials, children's books and other odds and ends. Whether you run a school, a home a playgroup or just like a bargain, join us this Sunday only, from 10-4.

If you know anyone who may benefit from the sale or who will enjoy it, please spread the word.
