In our presentation to the Gedolim last week, we described our "Prevention Tips for Parents" that Torah Umesorah hopes to send out to nearly 700 schools in the U.S, hopefully reaching over 100,000 parents.

Meanwhile, someone took the initiative and sent these prevention tips to the Menahel of their 17 year old son's Yeshiva, in South Bend Indiana. A short time later, they received their son's report card by mail, along with the prevention tips and a letter from the Yeshiva encouraging each parent to pay careful attention to these tips in order to make sure that their child doesn't lose all they had gained in Yeshiva over the summer vacation.

And then someone sent our prevention tips to the "Where What When" magazine, which is a Frum monthly publication in the Baltimore-Washington area - with a readership of about 40,000. And believe it or not, the magazine published a 6 page article containing our tips (in the August edition, just out today)!

So what will YOU do with our prevention tips? Imagine the tremendous Zikui Harabbim you could have if you get these guidelines published in local publications, or send them to your children's schools or Yeshivos! (Ask us for the Word version of the prevention tips, if changes need to be made).
Also, in the same issue of "Where What When", that same person placed a paid full page color-ad about our network.

Can you gather the courage to disseminate our flier as well? You can either post copies of it on bulletin boards (preferably in color), or leave multiple copies where they will be seen (here, black & white might be more cost efficient), or run the ad in local publications (making sure to request a non-profit discount). Imagine how many people could be helped!
The Chovos Halevavos (Shar Ahavas Hashem, Perek 6) writes:
"And you should know, my brother, that the merit of the believer, even should he reach the utmost completion in fixing his soul for blessed G-d, and even should he be close to the angels in their good traits and praiseworthy actions, and in the efforts they expend in their service of their creator, and in their pure love for Him, still do not reach the merits of someone who guides people onto the good path and steers the wicked to Divine service. For his merits are doubled in relation to their merits, for all days and all times".
Imagine the merits you will accumulate if others are helped through you!
