JEWISH WISDOM

On Passover we
Opened the door for Elijah
Now  our dog is gone.

Jewish Buddhism:
If there is no self,
Whose arthritis is this?

Beyond Valium,
Peace is knowing one’s child
Is an internist.

After the warm rain
The sweet smell of camellias.
Did you wipe your feet?

Her lips near my ear,
Aunt Sadie whispers the name
Of  her friend’s disease.

Today I am a man
Tomorrow I will return
To the seventh grade

Testing the warm milk
On her wrist, she sighs softly
But her son is forty.

The sparkling blue sea
Reminds me to wait an hour
After my sandwich.

Jews on safari —
Map, compass, elephant gun,
Hard sucking candies.

The same kimono
The top geishas are wearing:
I got it at Loehmann’s.

Mom, please!
There is no Need
to put that dinner roll  In your pocketbook.

Sorry I’m not home To take your call.
At the tone
Please state your bad news.

Is one Nobel Prize
So  much to ask from a child
After all I’ve done?

Today, mild shvitzing.
Tomorrow, so hot you’ll plotz
Five day forecast

Quietly murmured
At Saturday Synagogue services,
Phillies 5, Red Sox 3.

Be here now.
Be someplace else later.
Is that so complicated?

Drink tea and nourish life; With the first sip, joy;
With the second sip, satisfaction;
With the third sip, peace;
With the fourth, a Danish.

Wherever you go,
there you are.
Your luggage is another story.

Accept misfortune as a blessing.
Do not wish for perfect health, or a life without problems.
What would you talk about?

The journey
of a thousand miles
Begins with a single Oy.
Zen is not easy.
It takes effort to attain nothingness.
And then what do you have?
Bupkis.

The Tao does not speak.
The Tao does not blame.
The Tao does not take sides.
The Tao has no expectations.
The Tao demands nothing of others
The Tao is not Jewish.

Breathe in, Breathe out.
Forget this and attaining Enlightenment
will Be the least of your problems.

Deep inside you are ten thousand flowers.
Each flower blossoms ten thousand times.
Each blossom has ten thousand petals.
You might want to see a specialist

Be aware of your body.
Be aware of your perceptions.
Keep in mind that not every physical
Sensation is a symptom of a terminal illness.

The Torah says, Love your neighbor as yourself.
Buddha says there is no self.
So, maybe we’re off the hoo

Errol Daniel Rappaport

March 28, 1944 – June 13, 2025

Errol Daniel Rappaport passed away on June 13, 2025, at Mount Sinai Morningside in New York City. He was 81.

Born in Brooklyn, NY on March 28, 1944, Errol lived a full, dynamic life. He worked in public relations in Los Angeles and Acapulco, later becoming a television and music producer in New York City. He also contributed regularly to Black Tie Magazine and Wonderama Television. A passionate philanthropist. Errol was widely known as the “Goodwill Ambassador” — a role he lived every day by connecting people from all walks of life. Gregarious, funny, with dashing movie star looks He made everyone feel connected. His motto was, “ My reality is most people’s fantasy.” Errol was the epitome of positive energy, life and love.

He served as a medic in the U.S. Air Force during Vietnam and worked closely with legendary acting teacher Lee Strasberg as his assistant. His sense of style — including bright orange Iris Apfel glasses, slicked back hair, and a rotating collection of scarves — made him instantly recognizable wherever he went.

The son of fashion designers David and Frances Rappaport., Damon and Francesca of Damon were featured in major department stores and boutiques nationally. The couple lived for decades in their iconic penthouse at 200 Central Park South.

When their health began to decline, Errol returned from Los Angeles to New York to care for them. After his father’s passing, Errol continued to support his mother until she was placed under guardianship. Errol’s fight to protect her and others caught in similar situations is chronicled in Diane Dimond’s book, We’re Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong.

Errol co-founded QuinntEssential Productions with his partner and best friend, Quinn Lemley. The two created the talk show Secrets of the Stage on Manhattan Neighborhood Network, Black Tie Magazine, and Spotify, and produced the big band album Remembering Rita, which will be released this Fall.

He is survived by his brothers, Michael and Richard Rappaport, and his godson, Jorel Roth.

Donations in Errol’s memory may be made to the National Meningitis Association., which has now merged with, and is https://www.immunize.org/donate/  based in Florida.

A Celebration of Life service will be announced

Errol Rappaport will be remembered for his zest for life, positivity, and unwavering love for his friends.

The Floating Bed Co. just opened a new office in Austin, TX

The World’s first true Wellness Bed is now available for you to personally experience in Austin.
The new company office and demo location is at 4609 Laurel Canyon Dr, Austin, TX 78731. The local office manager is Alo Brewer. Call 737 786 3115.

After 20 years of success in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami, the Floating Bed Company has just opened a
new location in Austin. We welcome anyone who wants to experience this new way to relax and sleep to come
try it, to see what all the buzz is about. Demos are by appointment, and at no cost to you.
Everyone wants to live longer, & better. Scientific studies find that the 4 best indicators of health and longevity
are diet, exercise, sleep, and stress release. The original Floating Bed will improve your life by providing
better sleep and relaxation / stress release – two of those four factors. So how does it work?
The Floating Bed gently rocks you via your own body’s movements, thanks to its unique motion. The single
pendulum suspension uses the same safe motion that people feel in mothers’ arms, and it produces the same
blissful feeling. In fact, this motion was already proven to work on you personally (just ask your mother).
No other Bed has ever used this motion, which is why this Bed was awarded a patent. Independent studies (on
sleep onset, quality, depth, lymphatic circulation, and more) have found that this motion is just as effective for
adults as it is for infants. Users have better EEG readings, another benefit. (Another word for this motion is
“Vestibular Therapy,” which is great for everyone, and also for ADHD, autism, aspergers, and other special
people.)
It is completely different from the motion of waterbeds, hammocks and all other swinging devices.
You will instantly feel the difference – every body does. Just 4-5 minutes sitting awake or relaxing in one feels

like a 20 minute refreshing nap. So it replaces your bed, and sofa, but it does much more than that; it’s a multi-
purpose health and wellness solution.

They can be indoors in the bedroom, living room, guest room. or porch. With the stand, they can be outdoors,
on grass areas, decks, etc. People use them for a quick break/recharge, or as self-contained indoor or outdoor

sleeping quarters. They are so cool they never look “out of place.” With the privacy tent, it’s a rainproof all-
weather bedroom, guest room, or for glamping. There are many accessories, based on usage and décor.

They are named one of the “10 Most Romantic Hotel Beds on Earth” by Condé Nast Traveler, & praised
by Disney World® Resort as “The Bed of the Future.” They grace top-tier hotels, boutique inns, spas, retreat
centers, and discerning homes, indoors and out. Celebrities like Steven Tyler, Uma Thurman, Jason Momoa,
James Cameron and many others are enjoying their own Floating Beds at their homes every day.
TripAdvisor guest reviews are all 5 Stars at hotels now featuring them.
The photos and the science are intriguing, but they cannot fully convey the actual experience. Fortunately, we
can prove just how peaceful it is to relax (or even better, to sleep) on one. Two minutes in a Floating Bed will
tell you more than anything we say. After demoing it to over 40,000 people we can guarantee that you will

prefer this new “relaxation tech” to your old-fashioned bed. Parents, kids, guests – every body loves gentle rock-
ing with this ideal motion.

To learn more, call Alo Brewer in Austin to set up an appointment to try one.

Our clients experience the serenity and sensation of pure peace and tranquility on our outdoor Floating
Beds. We have had so much positive feedback from clients – they have been a great addition to our facility.

“Sandy Hackett’s Rat Pack Show,” which has stacked up rave reviews over the years, is a theatrical, musical production which recreates what it would have been like to see legendary icons, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop live onstage together.

“God sends the Rat Pack back to do one last show. They arrive in their prime but they are sent back to modern day so we get to weave current events into show,” said Miller who plays “Frank’s One Love,” a character based on Sinatra’s relationship with Ava Gardner. “Sandy’s father, Buddy Hackett, plays God. Frank, Sammy, Joey and Dean were all his friends and Sandy grew up with them. There is a lot of room for improv in the show, as it was with the real Rat Pack. Sandy is brilliant as Joey Bishop and is the comedy genius that has made our show so successful.”

Lisa has her own connection to the Rat Pack. Her father was songwriting legend, Ron Miller. “Every singing member of the Rat Pack recorded and performed my father’s classic standard, ‘For Once in My Life,’” Miller said. Hackett continued, “My wife brings her musical genius to the show, both as a creator and performer, which really sets our show apart from anything else out there,” Hackett said.

Sandy, who is working on a book about his father, “My Buddy,” to be released late this year, tours nationwide as a comedian and with his one-man show of the same name (directed by Miller), a live theatrical production about his close relationship with his dad and the ten years they spent touring together. www.mybuddyhackett.com

Lisa, a producer and singer/songwriter, is developing a new musical, “For Once in My Life,” about the life of her father whose hits, in addition to “For Once in My Life,” include “Touch Me in the Morning,” “A Place in the Sun,” “Heaven Help Us All,” “Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday,” “If I Could,” “I’ve Never Been to Me,” “Someday at Christmas,” “Everyone’s a Kid at Christmas Time” and many more. She has released several recordings and directed numerous music videos. She also heads up her own music publishing company, LDM Publishing; manages her father’s vast legacy catalogue; tours throughout the country and manages the careers of her children, 18-year-old actor/singer, Oliver Richman, freshman at New York University Tisch School of the Arts and 13-year-old actor/singer/dancer, Ashleigh Hackett, a middle schooler, also a student of the performing arts.
