QUEENS, NY — The Queens assistant principal stricken with swine flu succumbed to the deadly virus today, the first person to die in the city from the disease, hospital officials said.

“We were treating him very aggressively,” said Flushing Hospital spokesman Ole Pedersen. “Unfortunately, he did expire at 6:17 p.m. this evening.”

The sick man, Mitchell Wiener, 55, an assistant principal at IS 238 in Jamaica Estates, first fell ill more than a week ago, but didn't seek help at the hospital until his symptoms became severe early Wednesday morning.

Since that time, he's been in a medically induced coma, on a ventilator.

Imagine you are the motivational director of the strategic planning committee in heaven. You are asked to develop a way for the Yidden constantly inspired about Yiddeshkeit, to ensure a heightened awareness of what they need to know, to make sure they have a useful way to spend their time, and to give them something to look forward to.

Though the goals given to you are central to Jewish continuity, you are having difficulty finding an easy fix for this issue. Then you realize. The all in one fix is Torah learning.

Lag BaOmer Reaches Baltimore!

by Avraham Kroll

Lag Ba’omer, the thirty third day of the Omer is a time when some seemingly mundane activities take on deep mystical significance. In past generations children would go out to the field with bows and arrows, sing songs, and publicly celebrate their heritage. In more recent years the Lubavitcher Rebbe encouraged that there should be parades with floats and music to encourage Jewish pride. This he said to do with as many people as possible and wherever possible to bring the message of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai to every corner of the world. Especially since this year is a Shnas Hakhel, a year of gathering when in the time of the Temple, Jews from around the world would gather together to rejoice and hear the King read from the Torah.
