Moshiach Chudaitov dodges jokes about his uncommon name while bringing money and services to Soviet Jewry.
He’s doing the Messiah’s work, and that’s no joke
Moshiach is here. He gets his mail in Crown Heights, and was blessed, years ago, by the rebbe of Chabad. OK, so he didn’t ride in on a donkey, he drives a Toyota. Such are the perks of modernity.
Moshiach Is Here (Sort Of)

Moshiach Chudaitov dodges jokes about his uncommon name while bringing money and services to Soviet Jewry.

The Rebbe says:
1. The first words of this week’s Torah portion are, “And it shall be, because you listened to these ordinances of Hashem (G-d)... He will love you, bless you and multiply you…”.
Rashi (an acronym for Reb Shlomo Yitzchaki) points out that the Hebrew word “Eikev” which is simply translated in this verse as “because”, also means “heel”. Consequently, explains Rashi, the verse is alluding to the sort of Mitzvos (commandments) that people regard as relatively unimportant so they tend to “trample on them with their heels”. Thus, the Torah is assuring the Jewish people that if they are careful to observe even these neglected commandments, they can be certain that Hashem will reward them with His kindness.

The quality of medical care in the Catskill region is unfortunately not on the level of care that you are accustomed to in the city. Certain medical capabilities and treatments are just not available in the local community hospitals (as is well known both inside and outside our communities) and frequently results in delay of proper care.
