 Her Name Was PatienceShe was unusual -- in name and life -- and the kids knew it. The time has finally come to ask her for forgiveness by Malka Winner

 Sharing ShabbosWe all appreciate that Shabbos is a great vehicle for bringing people closer to Judaism. Here is a simple way to get onto the subject of Shabbos, which one of Project Inspire's members from Passaic shared with us. Whenever someone she’s in touch with asks her how her weekend was, she answers: "just great...I love Shabbos so much. I get time to relax, time to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, time to be with family and for myself - I just don't know what I'd do without it! Of course, you can begin by asking them how their weekend was, which will generally lead to an opportunity for you to speak about yours. In addition, it also leads to a situation where inviting them for Shabbos is also possible. There are also many fascinating conversations about the value of getting quality time with family or time for yourself that such a conversation can open up to. This can help a person focus on what is important in his life and how much he is making it a priority. Think about what you appreciate about Shabbos and share it!
