Leah: "Aaron returned to his IDF unit hours after his wedding.

An IDF officer was critically wounded overnight, and two other soldiers injured as well, during operations in northern Gaza. All three were evacuated to hospital and their families were notified. An explosive device was detonated against the force in a booby-trapped house they were searching for terrorists, smuggling tunnels and weapons.

Different weapons were found in the structure, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Office, including a machine gun and an equipment vest.

Prayers are being requested for the soldier Aharon Yehoshua ben (son of) Chaya Shoshanna. (YNet)"

I surfed into this blog only to find that
Leah Friedman is currently undergoing heart surgery for an aortic valve replacement, while I do not know her hebrew name it is my belief that we can also daven for a successful operation using the name we do have: A guest of Leah's has posted the following to her blog which is linked below:

My name is Tom and I am guest blogging for Leah.At the time of my writing this, Leah has been in surgery 49 minutes. This is the 5th open heart surgery for the Wee Princess, the first aortic valve replacement, previous surgeries were for the mitral valve. This young, vibrant beautiful soul has had a tough time. The last nine years have been 
unfair, yet I have never once heard her say, "poor me" Leah has been critically ill before,
 and has stared death in the face too many times to count, yet each and every time
 she has fought her way back to family and friends who love her. I believe in my heart 
that G-d has a plan for this young woman. I pray that she will have many more years to 
touch hearts and minds with her humor and generosity..

Truth Seeking: "Here you are on the world wide web, reading one of my blogs, and you may well have it in mind to make some money on the web. Then one might wonder if the author of this blog has some sort of secret on how to make money on the web, then how come the author of this blog is not himself doing that thing which produces income.

The Yeshiva World » Shidduch Crisis? Part II » Frum Jewish News: "The “crisis” stems from the fact that we have instituted a gentile system of finding a “marriage partner.”
Our boys and girls are looking for “that special soul mate,” that person with whom they can be “truly fulfiled.”
These are not Jewish concepts. The Talmud says that you should strive to marry a “Bas Talmid ChaCham,” and that you should meet her face-to-face before contracting for marriage, in order to make sure that you are not “rvolted” by her.–that’s it!
If she’s been well brought-up, and has good middos, and she is committed to establishing a home of Torah and Kedusha, you have all the ingredients for a happy and successful Jewish life–and, yes, true love.
Good marriages are not an accident, they are created and built by two good people who have the necessary background and who are committed to the task.

The Yeshiva World » Shidduch Crisis? Part II » Frum Jewish News: "Several months ago (Five Towns Jewish Times, June 29, 2007), I wrote an article entitled “Shidduch Crisis? More Like an Identity Crisis,” which portrayed my personal thoughts and feelings about this situation, deemed an epidemic by many frantic community members. Drawing upon my own personal experience and the accumulated emotions of many peers, I tried to tap into the true root of the crisis rather than hocking, ranting, or theorizing about superficial symptoms"

Tackling the Shidduch Crisis: A Community Approach (The Shidduch Site)

Tackling the Shidduch Crisis: A Community Approach (The Shidduch Site): "Firstly, I would encourage the Baltimore community to come together as cohesive whole in helping singles to find and be prepared to marry their spouses. This means, in practical terms, that the entire community itself must dedicate itself to this goal, rather than rely solely on scattered groups of shadchan volunteers or upon the vagaries of personal networks of contacts. Some practical recommends include the following:
Every shul should establish a shidduchim committee, and actively work to organize social events around the community geared towards providing opportunities for single men and women to meet and socialize in a non-pressured atmosphere. Rather than simply spawn another flavor shidduch fair, these events would instead focus on topics of interest to singles of various ages and backgrounds with the goal of creating a relaxed, natural environment where people can feel free to socialize, talk freely and be themselves! Possibilities might include speakers, entertainment, a shared kosher dinner, planned group-oriented visits to local arts and exhibits, or local a Shabbaton – be inventive!"
