In a gesture of gratitude to her longtime Synagogue, an elderly congregant delivered a self-embroidered mantel for the Synagogue's new Torah Scroll. A cursory glance was enough to reveal that the woman was a proficient embroiderer. The lush fabric, colorful pattern and superb craftsmanship rendered the article a true work of art.
Delighted with the attractive gift, the Rabbi wasted no time in putting it to the test. He rushed to the ark, removed the Torah and replaced the mantel with the new masterpiece.

Mimulo – Not Your Average Florists
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Chanie Frankel and Fradel Levin opened Mimulo on Mother’s Day two years ago. Fradel had been working in a dead-end, basement job, and Chanie was home with her son, when the space on Albany Avenue became available. After discussing and deciding against opening a restaurant (too expensive), Fradel suggested opening a flower shop. Three months later, with contracts signed, flowers stocked, and skills learned, Mimulo was the newest thing on the block.
“It's never too late. There's always a second chance.” This, according to Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, 1880-1950), is the message of Pesach Sheini, the biblically ordained “second Passover” for those who fail to bring the Passover offering on its designated time.
We all relate to a statement like, “There's always a second chance.” It soothes our harried souls, and fits nicely on the December 31 page of an Inspirational Sayings Desk Calendar. But how does it mesh with real day-to-day life? I took a small neighborhood survey.

An unidentified company has made a move toward buying a struggling Postville meatpacking plant.
The plant, Agriprocessors, was the region’s dominant employer until last May, when it was the site of a huge immigration raid. It went into bankruptcy last fall. Its future has been in doubt since March, when an attempt to auction it off failed to attract an offer that would satisfy the company’s creditors.
