Hi guys! I’m calling on some support please. If you have seen the documentary The Need To Grow then you know about the algae based biorefinery by Michael Smith. We need to save the existing prototype in a plan that includes so much more. Details are in my post. What I’m asking for from you is to share this post on LinkedIn to help us reach the right people in time. Please, thank you!

The post Here is a PR Newswire that we had sent out by Dea Shandera appeared first on Good News!.

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.
