image A song, sung by Moshe, at the end of his life:

Listen, O heavens!  Listen, O earth!
Hashem is the one who gave you your birth;
Hashem is the Rock, He is great, strong and pure,
Cling to Him now and your lives are secure.

Though it may seem that He will destroy,
Remember forever, you are His great joy;
Our Father He is and our Master will be,
So take heed of His words most seriously.

If you forget now the promise He made,
Your elders beseech, for His message betrayed;
As no special deeds or accomplishments came
To you before he bestowed His great name.

He swept you aloft with His presence so regal,
Carrying you higher, borne as an eagle;
Gave you the best of all the land’s things,
All the sweet foods and the riches it brings.

And yet you forgot Him and turned from His ways,
As He hid His face for a lifetime of days.
Terrible punishments soon would ensue,
Rivals invading as famine wind blew;

Enemies crowing, rejoicing our doom,
Raising their lies over Israel’s tomb.
If they were wise, they would think of their fate,
Remember Hashem, long before it’s too late.

For their destiny, too, will arrive before long,
The victorious end at the end of this song;
Vengeance is His and to Him all the earth,
Hashem’s is the healing that brings our rebirth.

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
