AT PARDES LEVAVOT

Baruch Dayan haEmet

Our hearts turn to Mimi Ito whose mother, Harriet Moskovitz, died early Sunday morning. 
There will be a memorial service at Mimi's home on Wednesday morning at 11:00. Mimi will be sitting shiva at her home, and will receive visitors on Thursday between 4:00 and 8:00 pm. A shiva minyan will be held at 7:00 pm. Shiva will continue on Friday, and visitors are welcomed between 12:00 and 4:00 pm.
Remember, it is customary to bring food to a house of mourning - to support the mourners and care for their needs.

If you wish to attend the service on Wednesday morning or Thursday evening, or visit during the shiva hours, please call our voicemail: 303-563.2110 for her address in North Boulder.

Maurice started his very own business, which almost immediately began to prosper. He was soon a very rich man. One day, his bank manager rang him and said, “Maurice, I have a query on one of your recent cheques. Could you confirm it is one of yours? For years, you've been signing all cheques with two X’s but this one is signed with three X’s. Is it yours?”

Maurice replied, “Yes, it is. Since I've become so wealthy, my wife thought I ought to have a middle name.”
