    We think you're special too!!

    I met Lori in 1999 in Israel while she and her family were living in Toronto. All I could do was pray for my family to move to Israel or Toronto. Who ever dreamed we would have the Palatniks in our Rockville community. Thank you for all you bring to us.

    Although I do not live there, I too feel part of your community

    Even though I have attended only a few of Aish's events, your community is near to my heart. Anyone who gets to spend a shabbas, yom tov, attend a wedding, or a bar/bat mitzvah with you gains an experience of some of why it is so precious to be a JEW. They also get acquainted with the specialness of the individuals who comprise your community, their caring and welcoming ways, and how they are devoted to carrying forward the work of Rabbi Noach Weinberg of blessed memory, and further, G-d's expressed desire that all Jews should come together.

    help for fellow Jews in Rockville

    It is true help from Heaven that I listened to your video today. My husband''s cousin is fighting a battle with a virulent type of lung/breast cancer. she is very active in her Conservative synagogue. she has been blessed with one daughter who is finishing college and does not have a very strong affiliation with any form of yiddishkeit and is finding it VERYdifficult to handle her mother''s illness. they live in Rockville. Please contact me via email *or* phone.
