A mother and a volunteer

Jewish Mom has a letter from a reader of Binah Magazine in a post titled What Rabbi Scheinberg told an Autistic Child’s Mother, in which the rabbi describes Rachel Imeinu's merit.

Israel National News writes about Efraim Goldstein,  a 22-year-old religious man who will be among those carrying the Olympic Torch.

"Goldstein had established seven volunteer organizations by the age of 16. The groups he set up now have a total of several hundred volunteers.

Efraim currently volunteers for the Shomrim Patrol, an emergency search and rescue group that he established. He also runs a soup kitchen for the homeless, and visits sick children through the Helping Hand organization."

Incidentally, I wanted to learn more about Mr. Goldsein so I googled his name and, would you believe,  the first site that pops up relates to a different Efraim Goldstein who writes on his site that he believes in ... and that he and his wife "have been serving the Lord in ministry to the Jewish people" for many years. Isn't that an oxymoron?
