Beneath the Yom Kippur schedule below is an urgent family request from dear friends of ours, Daniel and Eta Cotlar. 
Just over 3 weeks ago, our son Mendel joined us and had the privilege to celebrate the Bar Mitzvah of their dear son Mendel and family.
Mendel suffers from Glycogen Storage Disease #GSD and has been in a coma since Rosh Hashanah and is in need of your prayers!
As you can read below the Cotlar family is urging Men over the age of 13 to put on Tefillin in merit of their son Mendel. Tefillin How To Guidehttp://www.chabaduptown.org/102436
Please consider this special mitzvah and share the mitzvah and spread the word with the hashtag#TefillinForMendel
May we hear very good news soon!

Sukkot & Simchat Torah Schedule >
Hello all, thank you so much for all the enthusiasm and mitzvos being performed for the merit of a speedy recovery for our son Mendel. 
HaShem will hear the prayers and see our good deeds. We EXPECT a miracle and are eagerly watching for the indications that things are improving. That said, it doesn't hurt to push things along.
So now we need to ask for an additional effort!
Throughout Jewish tradition many sages and sources (especially the Lubavitcher Rebbe) emphasize the power of doing mitzvos connected with the problem one is experiencing. Tefillin, placed on the head, is closely connected with Mendel's current situation as well as his recent Bar Mitzvah.
We are asking that a Tefillin Mitzvah Campaign be made in Mendel’s honor, today Thursday Oct. 2nd. For men, please put on Tefillin yourself and please ask another man who would not otherwise do so and say the Shema! For women, please ask men and boys over age 13 to participate in this effort.
It only takes 5 minutes, and you're done. It’s just one day, please help us make this happen. The merit is tremendous.
Asking someone else to don Tefillin on their hand and head say some prayers doesn't come naturally. I know it's a lot for us to ask of you. But can you imagine the energy that will come from hundreds or thousands of people connecting to their Judaism? To make this easier to do, perhaps just say that "this is for Mendel".
May we suggest bringing your Tefillin to work, to the subway, the mall. Perhaps go through your contacts to find a friend you should have coffee with anyway. Etc.
If you'd like, share your Tefillin successes at

Thank you. May we have miracles to report soon.
May you be sealed in the Book of Life for a good and Sweet New Year!
