10 Shvat, 5768
To all Shluchim and Anash,
Greetings and Blessings,
As many of you may know, Elana Leah Kasle, 18 year old daughter of Dr. Jerry and Mrs. Shaindel Kasle, from North Oak Park Michigan, was hit by a car several weeks ago. She was attending seminary in Florida and on that evening was working on winter camp. Although she has sustained life threatening injuries, and is presently in a coma, as a result of our Tefillos and good deeds in her merit, Boruch Hashem, Elana Leah has shown some improvements.
We have established organized Tehillim throughout our community. Many took upon themselves to finish Tehillim every week until Elana has a full recovery. Hundreds of men, women and Children took upon themselves to recite the Brocho of Asher Yutzar from a Siddur in the zechus of Elana Leah bas Shaindel Rochel, we distributed over two thousand wallet size Asher Yutzar cards to this point.

A battery of devastating plagues, ten in total, worked wonders (no pun intended). They succeeded in shattering the resolve of the Egyptian tormenters; compelling them to release the Israelites from their evil clutches – ending thereby two harrowing centuries of exile and slavery.
Their sights now set on Sinai and the long awaited rendezvous with G-d, the Children of Israel were free at last – well on their way to a future of promise and reward. Or so it seemed.
Alas, in an unexpected turn of events, their hopes were dashed. The fledgling nation found itself, instead, caught between a rock and a hard place, or more accurately stated: between the extended swords of the advancing Egyptian army and the choppy waves of an unyielding sea.
