The L’Chaim will IYH be tonight, Tuesday at the Lubavitcher Yeshiva, 570 Crown St [hall entrance on Albany Ave].
When I was chosen this year to serve alongside Queen Rania of Jordan, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Richard Branson as one of the judges for CNN’s Heroes, I met and befriended an incredible woman named Carolyn Lecroy who runs the Messages Project, which videotapes prison inmates reading bedtime stories and communicating with their children. As I watched Carolyn’s work with my own children on the DVD CNN sent me, tears streamed down all of our eyes. We immediately identified with the millions of children who have done no wrong but whose parents’ incarceration brings them unending suffering.

“The buddy system’s been helpful,” said Gerrish, but it only got her so far.
