"Partners in Kindness" Campaign Turns Tragedy Into Triumph

In 1991,when CNN asked the Rebbe, "What is your message to the world?," the Rebbe replied: "Moshiach (the Messiah) is ready to come now. It is only on our part to add something additional in goodness and kindness." Since that time, efforts at goodness and kindness have taken off in innumerable ways. These good deeds are critical in that they deprive evil of its energy and prepare the world for the day when there will be only good.


 Passaic man turns to peace after bomber kills pregnant wife

PASSAIC - When a suicide bomber plowed into Sbarro in Jerusalem, killing Steven Greenbaum's wife and unborn child, he vowed to fight back.

But he's not waging a battle with grenades or guns. Instead, the 40-year-old Passaic resident is waging a kindness crusade. An idealist by nature, Greenbaum believes that ordinary citizens can destroy terrorism through extraordinary acts of goodness.

His year-old organization, Partners in Kindness, encourages kindness through a plethora of e-mailings, lectures, posters, and contests. More than 5,000 members on six continents subscribe to Greenbaum's weekly "Kind Words" e-mails. His readers - some from as far away as Iran, Kuwait, and Japan - report their daily acts of kindness via e-mail to Greenbaum's Web site.

Repeating stories of good deeds inspires others, says Greenbaum, adding, "It's pretty contagious."

Schools, organizations, and radio programs worldwide have taken up the cause.

It has also caught on at New York City Transit, where Greenbaum works as a computer specialist. Thanks to his efforts, New York City Transit recently started a kindness public awareness campaign among employees. Greenbaum is now trying to push a "Heroes of Kindness" poster program in which posters depicting New York City Transit employees and passengers performing inspiring acts of kindness would be plastered throughout the system.

The Glenn Beck Phenomenon

A combination of spirituality and show biz, Glenn Beck has captured world attention with his dazzling support of Israel and the Jewish people. He will speak the truth, no matter what, and so far, he seems to be able to shrug off the slings and arrows of  an outraged world.

 The L.A. Times (8/23 /11) reported that Glenn Beck

•  compared the Norweigian campers killed this past summer to Hitler Youth (True: they were plotting a demonstration against Israel and in their games played Israel as evil and Arabs as the victims.)
• accused George Soros of anti-Semitism (True: Mr. Soros supports anti-Israel causes, blames Israel for anti-Semitism, and as a boy, helped out the Nazis against his own people, for which he expresses no remorse.)

In Mr. Beck's own words, from his inspirational rally "Restoring Courage," held in Jerusalem, August 23, 2011: 

"Everything we know about human rights and real civilization came from this place, this land ... Whether you live by 613 commandments, 10 commandments, or one sweet Golden Rule, it all started here. It all started here – the throne of G-d. Israel did not come into being because of the Balfour Declaration, but because of G-d's Covenant with the Jewish people."

San Diego - A Southern California police officer's random act of kindness was caught on video minutes before he was gunned down.

Here's what happened.

13-year old Daveon Tinsley wanted to buy cookies at McDonalds, but he was ten cents short.

That's when he saw San Diego officer Jeremy Henwood and asked him for the ten cents.

Instead, the officer simply bought him the cookies. While they waited, Officer Henwood asked Tinsley what he wanted to be when he grew up and chatted with him.

Five minutes later, Officer Henwood walked out of the restaurant. He was ambushed and killed by a suicidal gunman.

Tinsley says Henwood, who was a also a US Marine just a tour of duty in Afghanistan, will live on as his role model and inspiration.

Officer Henwood was a organ donor. His organs were harvested hours after he was shot.

Head Chaplin at Oklahoma Army Base Affirms He is a Noahide.

Many years ago the Lubavitcher Rebbe, the King Messiah, began urging the Jewish people to publicize the universal moral code to the gentiles known as the 7 Noahide Laws. These laws are the basis for a just and decent world. However, like all of G-d's laws, the 7 Laws have to be observed not because they make sense rationally but because they were given by G-d. Acknowledging G-d's rulership as the Creator of the world is key. Today the Noahide movement is growing. In the story below, from Rabbi Lazer Brody's blog, "Lazer Beams," a U.S. army chaplin, responsible for an army base with nearly 70,000 personnel, affirms that he is a Noahide.

"...having your own intimate relationship with G-d brought me to reevaluate everything I’ve been taught from childhood and Divinity School on up. So I tried personal prayer. Today I can’t live without it. As a result, I left Christianity and became a Noahide.”

- Major Jimmy W., Head Chaplin,  Fort Sill

Righteous Warrior

Outside, it was 103F in the shade. The car was speeding down and the arrow-straight highway from Oklahoma City to Dallas, where Breslev Israel’s general director Yosef Nechama, our program director David Reckles and I were on our way to spend the July 4^th weekend as guests of the World Noahide Conference in Irving Texas.

Our host in Oklahoma, Lazer Green, looked at his watch: “We have plenty of time before Shabbat. The base clergymen at Fort Sill asked me several times to stop by the base on the way to Dallas.”

Yosef Nechama said, “Tell them we’re on the way.”

Fort Sill received us like visiting royalty. Captain (Rabbi) Boaz, a former paratrooper in Iraq who is now on his way to Afghanistan, ushered us to a table (in Fort Sill!) with his wife’s home-baked challas, glatt-kosher milk products, and loads of fruits and veggies, just what Israelis like to eat. After hearing about the spiritual life of American Jewish soldiers from Rabbi Boaz, another officer arrived: Major Jimmy, the head chaplain at Fort Sill.

Major Jimmy and his wife Elizabeth surprised us with their amazing knowledge of all our emuna books and CDs. Together, they’ve been on a spiritual journey that has brought them in the lap of “Moses’s Torah, with no new additions,” as Major Jimmy says.

“We’ve become complete Noahides, and then some. We’ve taken upon ourselves to refrain from eating forbidden foods – if it’s healthy for a Jewish soul, it’s certainly beneficial for us too.”

Major Jimmy then told us about the frightening day several months ago when killer tornadoes were ripping through Oklahoma. “One was heading straight for our house. Elizabeth and I wanted to do something fast – we decided that it’d be a good idea to get all the pork out of our house. We did – and fast. The tornado ripped our town apart but when it got our street, it took a sharp turn to the right. We didn’t even lose a shingle on the roof.”

I asked Major Jimmy what started his spiritual rethinking.
