A Parent's Prayer (free download from Art Scroll)

All parents want the best for their children — that they should be good and upright, that they have everything they need for a fruitful, joyous life.

The classic work, Shelah HaKadosh, contains a prayer that parents should recite for their children at any time of the year — but especially before Rosh Chodesh Sivan, (which is Sunday, May 24th) for that is the month when G-d gave us the Torah, and when the Jewish people began to be called His Children. This year it is preferable to recite it on Thursday. It may also be recited on Friday.

AS A PUBLIC SERVICE, Art Scroll is OFFERing THE TEXT OF THE PRAYER FOR DOWNLOADING. Click HERE to download.

If you have problems downloading these files directly from this page, you can also have these files emailed to you by sending a blank email to parentsprayer@artscroll.com and the free file will automatically be emailed back to your email address. Do not include a message, as the return email is automatic and no messages will be read.

Jewish Economics Survey

The purpose of the survey is touched on in the introduction; essentially its purpose is to gather data to gauge the approximate cost of living over different demographics across different frum communities, while it has simultaneously allowed those who've taken it to gain a better understanding of their own personal spending habits and finances. It also asks people to assess and give their opinions on the state of the frum community's finances and what problems exists and what advice they would give to young people starting out.

The results so far have been really interesting and extremely enlightening, and there's further discussion available on my blog, SerandEz, here.

The link to the survey is http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=p-2WPRCDbkfzWDcHNWxlhdQ or, if you prefer a shorter URL, http://tinyurl.com/dl4gxe.

In addition, I'll be giving the first public presentation on the survey this Wednesday, May 6th at 8:00 PM at the Mt. Sinai Jewish Center in Washington Heights. The title is "Playing - and Praying - in the Black, But Living in the RED". Admission is free. There might even be refreshments. :)

Thanks so much for your time!
