It is sad and unfortunate that it took the tragic death of a young girl to realize the value and importance of my children’s school bus drivers. Each morning, as a matter of routine, I would wait with my children for their school bus to arrive, help them onto the bus, tell them I love them, say goodbye, and watch as the doors close and the bus drives away. A few hours later, I would wait for the school buses to bring them home, help them off the bus and listen (and listen and listen) to how their day at school went.

It’s only a month away and already hundreds of Shluchim from around the world are gearing up for 'One Shabbat One World,' a Shabbos dedicated to Moshiach. In what they are anticipating as the largest turnout ever, Shluchim are encouraged to invite all to attend. “Last year over 300 shluchim joined and this year we’d like that number to be up by 100.” Rabbi Chaim Hershkowitz, director of the program said.“ But it’s not just about numbers, the Shabbaton is a great way for Shluchim to talk about Moshiach with its particular relevance to Shabbos.”
