Title: I'm 'Wanted' for a Mitzvah Post by Gary A. Markette on Oct 8th, 2013, 1:13am Got a call recently from the Muscular Distrophy Association. They asked me if they could "arrest" me to help their annual fund drive. I said: "Why not?" and then I found out. Next thing I know, there's a"Wanted poster" with my mug shot making the rounds. Here's what it looks like: Keep this away from the kids. Too scary a picture, even for Halloween. Anyway, this was a chance for me to do a mitzvah and I took it. If you'd like to "bail me out" (and do a mitzvah yourself), link here: http://www2.mda.org/site/TR?px=1969346&fr_id=7773&pg=personal and toss some bucks to the MDA. All the info you need to free the desperado me will be at the link. I'll be playing my harmonica until I get out (and, believe me, that's something you DON'T want to hear).

Title: Re: I'm 'Wanted' for a Mitzvah Post by Gary A. Markette on Oct 11th, 2013, 10:28am Loosely, a "mitzvah" is a good deed. It's one of the few Hebrew words in fairly common use in conversation and writing.  At least, I thought it was. Maybe it's a bit esoteric? If so, maybe I should repost this using "good deed" rather than "mitzvah." I'll give that a try a little late in October.
