"A Near-Fatal Roah Hashana Faint"
\One bar before my solo, a massive headache struck me and
I fell to the ground-they had to carry me from the synagogue to the hospital
in the middle of Rosh Hashana
Why this Week: The story begins on Rosh Hashana (1981)

"The Wet Nurse of the Lubavitcher Rebbe"
When the Tzemach Tzedek, the third Rebbe in the Chabad dynasty,
was born, his mother was unable to nurse him. Her father, the first Rebbe,
Rabbi Shneur-Zalman, summoned the hired wet nurse to hear from him specific
guidelines about the nursing.
Why this week? Erev Rosh Hashana, which is next week on
Wednesday, is the anniversary of the birth of the Tzemach Tzedek, which
is the start of the above story. [So why not next week instead? Because
next week must feature a story for Rosh Hashana itself.].

"Prison + Yom Kippur + Talmud = Freedom"
"To be quite honest," he explained, "I chose Shabbos as
my mitzvah because I know nothing about any of the other Commandments,
but I do remember once hearing that G-d set up Shabbos as a day of rest"
Why this week? YOM KIPPUR
