10/17/14 - NNHS Newsletter - Simchat Torah
“We have stood in awe before the King of the Universe (on Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur);
we have been forgiven and cleansed by His mercy... Now, we rejoice with His Torah.
We take the sacred scrolls in our arms and dance together, scholar and novice alike.”
- Unidentified Lubavitch (ultra-orthodox) Magazine

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

Today is Simchat Torah, a joyous Jewish holiday marking the end of the Sukkot festival, which to my knowledge, we've never observed here together before as the big Typhoon Family we've become. It celebrates the completion of the annual reading of the Torah.

It began in the evening of Thursday, October 16 and ends in the evening of Friday, October 17.

BEST WISHES to the Class of '64 on their 50-Year Reunion this weekend!

From Joan Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 10/16/14:

As many of you know I am a candidate for a Cochlear implant. Today's visit to EVMS (one of the 3 authorized sites to perform this surgery) gave us additional information.
The implant will only be on one ear. After adjusting to the single implant a second device will be considered. There are protocols for the surgery which are required prior to the surgery, which include multiple hearing tests, wearing of hearing aids (which only amplify sounds), balance testing, MRI. We have completed most of these tests. The cost of the surgery is HUGH but covered by insurance.

I am interested in talking with anyone who has cochlear implants. I want to know both success and failure stories. EVMS gave me a 'short list' that includes email addresses which I will follow up with in the next few days. I am asking for your prayers, for me to know what my path should be. Thank you. Blessing to each of you.

WOWZERS! Thank you, Joan! Love and prayers coming your way!

FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 10/16/14:

Two roofers, Larry and Joe, were on the roof laying tile, when a sudden wind gust came and knocked down their ladder.
“I have an idea” said Larry. “We’ll throw you down, and then you can pick up the ladder.”

"What, do you thing, I’m stupid? I have an idea,” said Joe. “I’ll shine my flashlight, and you can climb down on the beam of light.”

"What, do you think I’m stupid? You’ll just turn off the flashlight when I’m halfway there.”
