Last week, my niece Michelle's youngest son, Mickey (Meir Yechezkiel), never woke up. He was three years old, born exactly two months after Mordechai (Mo), our grandson. He had a virus the day before, and was taken to the doctor the day before he passed away, and nothing seemed otherwise amiss. As there was no autopsy done; a flu appears to be the cause. He was a gorgeous, bright, engaging, and very spirited little boy, and despite his short time here, he made an impression on many people. His upsherin was 2 weeks ago and he was so excited to join his three older brothers in wearing a kippah. We were supposed to have gone this week to visit them and play for a few days, but instead returned to Philadelphia after spending most of the shiva in Cedarhurst with Michelle, her husband Yossi, and their 3 other sons. This is the third time in 5 years that Michelle has sat shiva, as both of her parents (my brother and sister-in-law) passed away from cancer in that period. Mickey was named in memory of his grandfather Myron, AKA Mickey, and his brit was on his first yahrzeit. This loss is so profound and these past 10 days have been wrenching. What emerged during the shiva, was that while the pain and suffering was clearly etched in their faces and the tears did not stop, and no amount of words or gestures can take away or lessen that pain, their emunah was an incredible strength to behold. Their beliefs and observance are helping them survive this tragedy and breathe through the last week, which I am sure will be a major help in getting them through the foreseeable future, and through other difficulties they will face. We are starting a little project, in memory of Mickey (z"l), to be completed within the next three weeks, in time for Mickey's shloshim. As Mickey was here on this earth for such a short time, he was unable to do many mitzvot, but he was so engaged enthusiastically in the ones he was being taught, such as kippah, tzizit, and brachot. His gannanot told us during shiva that he was the loudest to sing during davening. We are asking you to think of something which you can strengthen in your life, a mitzvah you want to improve upon, and do an extra mitzvah or more during the next three weeks, in Mickey's zechut. When you have chosen this and done it, please go to this website - Mitzvot for Mickey - and write down what you did (it's all anonymous). It is our hope there will be many mitzvot and these will continue beyond the sh'loshim period. At the end of the shloshim, we will be giving this to the family, so they can see all the extra mitzvot that were done on Mickey's behalf, and that he has been the cause of bringing more mitzvot into our world. They are aware this is going on and it is a way to provide some strength to them as they cope day to day. We hope this will be something that will help them, and give them some chizuk, to bring something positive out of this terrible time in their lives. Please pass this onto anyone who you think might be interested. Thank you all in advance for your participation, if you choose to become involved. It is an opportunity for self-improvement while helping a family in great sorrow. May we only know smachot and many chances to celebrate life's beautiful events with each other. ----Cheryle and the Levitt family
