Ki Tavo 5771: Blessings, Thanksgiving and New Beginnings
Please see the photos at http://www.pressconnects.com/ for the devastation suffered by thousands of residents of the Binghtamton Southern Tier area. Fortunately our farm was well outside of the flooded area. However, many of our neighbors suffered lots of damage to their farms from the waters as well as from oil tanks that leaked etc. There are many relief projects going on in the area. Please consider giving to: Hay for Holly (see the facebook page). It is a group of people helping raise money to feed the alpaca and sheep this winter for our neighbors Holly and Todd whose farm was flooded and then contaminated by leaky oil tanks and other debris that fell into their land during the flood.

Hi I found your wonderful podcast the other night and just listened to it today on my walk. I am a knitter and a person engaged in re-learning what it is to be Jewish. Can I post a link to your blog/podcast on my blog "RuthandCarlasJews" (at WordPress)?
ReplyDeleteI would be honored to have you pass on my link! Thanks for listening!
