Israel Matzav

Prayer request - Urgent

When we first moved to Israel, we lived within a half hour walk of the Kotel (Western Wall), and every Friday night I went with my oldest son, who used to tell me the weekly Torah portion on the way there and back, and who is now married.

Every Friday night, we brought  back 2-4 guests for our Sabbath table - people who were 'picked up' at the Kotel by Meir Schuster zt"l (may the memory of the righteous be a blessing) and l'havdil bein chaim l'chaim (to differentiate between the living in the next world and the living in this world) Jeff Seidel.

We also took back many more guests - often dozens - who were eating with another family, the Machlis family, that lived in an apartment complex across the street from ours. The Machlis' are known for having as many as 150 people at their Sabbath table, all at their own expense. Literally thousands of American kids had their first exposure to the Sabbath at the Machlis' table.

Mrs. Machlis is now very much in need of Mercy from Heaven. I ask that you all please say a prayer for

Henna Rasha Bat Yitta Ratza

You should be privileged to do mitzvot (good deeds).
