                                (13 מהפיוט "אחות קטנה" מאת רב אברהם חזן מגירונדי, ספרד, במאה ה-)

הממליך מלכים ולו המלוכה

Coincidence? nothing is by chance but the fact that three powerful world leaders find themselves on the hot seat  a few days before Rosh Hashana.  The personal body guard to the king of Saudi Arabia was killed today. This shows the contrast between  melech בשר ודם who come and go and are appointed by the מלך מלכי המלכים who is eternal.

NJ 12 - (see video below) A large fire destroyed the building housing a catering business in Lakewood. The fire started at Greenwald Caterers on East Eighth Avenue Sunday around 8 p.m. Isaac Greenwald has owned the business for more than 20 years. He says that he has two other buildings and that the 20 employees from the Eighth Avenue location will be relocated. He says that all of his commitments will be fulfilled. “The show must go on. You can't call people and say, ‘There's no wedding. We’re out of business.’ You close down a wedding, you're done,” says Greenwald. No serious injuries were reported from the fire. Greenwald says that he will work with his insurance company as he moves forward. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
