With humor as their weapon, the Three Stooges took on Hitler
By Bruce Dancis
So you think this is all there is to the Three Stooges: Moe gets mad,
pokes Larry in the eye and hits Curly on the head, followed by a torrent
of flying pies, nyuk, nyuk, nyuks and woo, woo, woos? A new DVD offering
says otherwise

"Thank You/ Gratitude: Formulas, stories and insights" By Rabbi Zelig
Pliskin
Few of us realize that cultivating a genuine sense of gratitude will
impact on our happiness, our marriage, even on our sense of self-worth.
Being ungrateful for the many blessings in our lives distances us from
our Creator and spoils our relationships with other people
TODAY: Ask for gratitude
