My Spouse Mina had a heart attack

Hi everyone,

My spouse Mina (we legally married Aug. 24, 2008) had a heart attack and broke her ankle at same time so I will not be writing as much as usual. We will see. I am spending all my time at the hospital. Mina is improving.

CHECK OUT VIDEO: AN ENDURING PASSION


MINA AND I ARE FEATURED IN A VIDEO ON THE WEBSITE JEWSONFIRST. THE INTERVIEW WAS DONE BY RABBI HAIM BELIAK. THE WEBSITE IS A BLOG THAT HIGHLIGHTS CIVIL RIGHTS AND FIRST AMENDMENT ISSUES WITH A PROGRESSIVE JEWISH SLANT. JANE HUNTER AND RABBI HAIM BELIAK ARE THE EDITORS AND CREATORS OF JEWSONFIRST. THE INTERVIEW WAS DONE IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR (09) BEFORE THE 18,000 MARRIAGES WERE VALIDATED AND NEW MARRIAGES INVALIDATED AND NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE PLACE IN CALIFORNIA. TAKE A LOOK. THANKS.
