This is no better than people looting stores, physically hurting and killing others…

We all should be thankful for life and respect for each other.

All we are is what we are with each other

Peace, Love & HOPE

Dear Friend and Members

Happy and HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL. STAY SAFE.

SAFETY is the most important focus of our life right now, along with loving ALL.

We at Good News are saddened by many things in America, just like Lady Liberty above. The Statue of Liberty (officially named Liberty Enlightening the World) is a monument symbolizing the United States… The statue commemorates the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty

Good News was going to share thoughts of 2020 Bittersweet Thoughts that were sent to us in an Inner Happiness group that we are part of. We have decided to still share it as we are believers in the Good in the World and that our difficult times will pass when we all realize that we are all in this together, our www.goodnewsplanet.TV motto. They also say a little laughter, during our most difficult times is healthy, I hope you agree. Additionally, we share a link to a Benefit Concert that we did on New Year’s Eve to raise money for Support Dogs for First Responders & Vets and www.peacedayparty.org. I performed on the Sax and the Piano and share Thoughts of Wisdom from Soundscapes on a TV Channel… Enjoy.

2020 Bittersweet Thoughts

1. The dumbest thing I ever bought was a 2020 planner.

2. 2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.

3. The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house & their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors!

4. This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came to my house & told my dog… We had a good laugh.

5. Every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom.

6. Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands?

7. I never thought the comment, “I wouldn’t touch him/her with a 6-foot pole” would become a national policy, but here we are!

8. I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator.

9. I hope the weather is good tomorrow for my trip to the Backyard. I’m getting tired of the Living Room.

10. Never in a million years could I have imagined I would go up to a bank teller with a mask on and ask for money.

Here also is a link to a Benefit that Good News did to raise some money for support dogs for First Responders and Vets, www.goodnewsplanet.TV and our www.peacedayparty.org partnered with www.operationwarriorshield.com on New Year’s Eve.

Paul: 10 million seniors will go hungry on Thanksgiving. We need your help to reach them.

Will you be a hero for hungry seniors today?

Make your generous gift of $16 or whatever you can afford now >>

Yet that’s all some seniors will eat next Thursday.

While we’re feasting on dinner with family and friends, more than 10 million seniors will be struggling just to make it through the day.

That’s the appalling state of senior hunger in America — and it’s time we did something about it.

Make a charitable gift of $16 or whatever you can afford to fight senior hunger before Thanksgiving.

Paul, sometimes I wish I could pretend that senior hunger was a myth, that the reports were wrong. But the fact is that this tragedy is unfolding right here in America — today. Already, more than 10 million older Americans are facing hunger, and more are at risk.

These hungry seniors are our neighbors, people we pass on the street or say hi to at the post office. They’re in every community across the country, suffering silently just to get enough food to make it through the day.

It’s heartbreaking — but together, we can help. Already this year, we’ve delivered more than 4 million meals through community meal pack events across the country, including a record-breaking two-day meal pack challenge in Washington, D.C. We piloted new, innovative solutions to senior food insecurity with the rollout of Grocery Guides programs that help older Americans make healthy, affordable choices in their local stores. And we’ve helped low-income seniors make healthy choices through our Fresh Savings program, which makes fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients. We’ve stood together to raise awareness about this problem — and committed to working together to solve it.

Help us raise $200,000 to fight senior hunger — every dollar makes a difference >>

I hope you’ll consider making a voluntary, charitable contribution to AARP Foundation, AARP’s charitable affiliate. For hungry seniors who have nowhere else to turn, your support can be a beacon of hope. Thanks in advance for standing with us this holiday season.

In September 2008, the company changed it’s name from the R.A.B. Food Group to the Manischewitz Company, under which it operates today.

It all started with Rabbi Dov Behr

The B. Manischewitz Company, LLC traces its beginnings back to the spring of 1888, when Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz opened a small Matzo bakery in Cincinnati, Ohio.

A humble beginning

It was largely from his spiritual concerns that he set out to make matzo or unleavened bread for Passover, first for his family and a few friends, but soon for many of the devout Jews of the city. His bakery soon evolved into a successful business, innovative and prosperous––though never inattentive to the spiritual needs of its customers.

From small bakery to booming business

By the end of the century, demand for his matzo had become so great that Rabbi Manischewitz turned to the use of gas-fired ovens, replacing the older coal stoves being used by other Jewish bakers. The newer ovens allowed for much more careful control of the baking speed, insuring a consistent and standard quality to the matzos.
He also introduced portable traveling-tunnel ovens, and was the first to package his matzos for shipment to places beyond the immediate neighborhood of his bakery. He even began shipping his matzos overseas, to such diverse places as England, Japan, France, Hungary, Egypt and New Zealand. His bright, clean bakery would become a model for future kosher bakeries, both in America and abroad.

Matzo on the move

In 1932, the company built a second factory. Located in Jersey City, New Jersey, the plant quickly became the model for all new machine-made matzo bakeries worldwide. Closer to a much larger Jewish population than that of Cincinnati, the new factory also made distribution of the company’s product more efficient and quickly enlarged its customer base. The Manischewitz label was soon dominant in ethnic grocery stores and delicatessens in the larger East Coast cities. Thanks to the technology and efficiency of the New Jersey factory, Manischewitz was able to close down the Cincinnati facility altogether.

Same quality, more quantity

In 1940, Manischewitz produced its first Tam Tam cracker. It signaled the initial departure from its line of matzo products. About the same time, in a licensing arrangement, Manischewitz wines began to be sold throughout the country.
In 1954, the company purchased a processing plant located in Vineland, New Jersey. The Vineland facility, which has now ceased operations, manufactured all of the company’s canned and jarred products, including old familiar favorites like gefilte fish, chicken soup and borscht. The plant was primarily a hand-pack processing operation stressing careful attention to quality and flexibility. Workers there packed about 2,000,000 lbs. of fish and 1,000,000 lbs. of beets each year.
