For those names missing from above - forgive me.

Why have I created such a list. Well, they are Jewish - either having both parents Jewish or one.

Again, why did I list them? Tzedakah - it is a fundamental part of the Jewish way of life.

It is not $$$ I seek. I seek a Sefer Torah. Actually, a traveling Sefer Torah. I prepare children and adults for their Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, when they turn 83 and for wedding couples seeking an Auf Ruf blessing before their wedding day during a Shabbat worship service. I need a Sefer Torah to do all this.

Sefer Torahs are thousands of dollars. I cannot provide the funds to purchase a small traveling Sefer Torah.

Our Society includes the focus of celebrities and their lives in print (Page 6 and magazines), Entertainment TV based shows, and of course the internet.

So, I list the names of our Jewish celebrities who have entertained us or provided us with services that have become part of our daily lives either on television, in print or on the internet.

It is perfectly okay for a Rabbi to ask for assistant. It is Jewishly to ask for Tzedakah - it is a fundamental part of the Jewish way of life.

You can find Rabbi Andrea Frank on her web site The Jewish Wedding Rabbi

If you are a celebrity and in the limelight of your family, friends, colleagues and you choose Tzedakah with your connections - able to acquire a traveling Sefer Torah for Rabbi Frank - please do not hesitate to contact! You are important to the community as well.

Blessings to all who assist Rabbi Frank so she can assist adults seeking blessings and the children, our future generations, to become a Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah.
