From Judy@FiveHusbands: My friend and neighbor Gary Balogh, a long time employee of Jack’s Deli in University Heights, was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Gary was the breadwinner in his family. He brought home the (kosher) bacon.

Gravely ill and no longer able to work, he lost his job. A group of friends has set up a benefit and benevolent fund to help support Gary and his family through this journey.

Now I am asking you, my virtual community, to check out Gary’s website and give what you can whether it be a prayer, a good wish or a donation. The Balogh Family is grateful for all your support. And just so you know what kind of folks Gary and Joellen are - they sent me home with a bag of groceries last night.

The Talmud (Baba Batra 9a) says: “Greater than one who does a mitzvah, is one who causes others to do a mitzvah.”

If you really want to be effective, wake others up to the problem, and mobilize their efforts. You can find out more about Gary’s journey, the Balogh Family Benevolent Fund and make a donation at Nosh On This.
