Tomorrow--Sunday, June 10th--will be an inspiring day. Temple Beth Abraham (25 Leroy Ave, Tarrytown) is sponsoring a concert featuring Michal Emunah at 4 PM.
A few months ago Temple Beth Abraham's Sunday 5th grade classes read an article about a sick, Israeli girl named Michal. She is only 11 years old but has been in and out of the hospital her entire life. Michal is blind, having lost both of her eyes to cancer and has survived stomach cancer. The cancer is back, unfortunately. What started out as a simple gesture of kindness has turned into much more. Michal has been sending pictures to her class, writing individual letters to each student and sending recordings of her talking and playing piano. Her spirit is amazing even though she suffers from terminal illness.
Michals wish is to come to the United States, to meet her american friends, give them a concert and become Bat Mitzvah while she is here. You can help by being part of the audience at the conert.
The Peers family of Elmsford have agreed to host Michal and her mother during their time in Westchester. Tomorrow at 4 PM there will be a conert where Michal will be performing a classical piece on the piano, reciting some of her poetry and leading us in a sing a long.
Imagine how Michal will feel hearing the applause of a packed room filled with well wishers.
Hope to see you at the concert. A special thank you to the students of Temple Beth Abraham and the Peers family for this event.
