Style & Living

A mighty ox was struck, but strove

To live up to his Father’s code

In the dungeon, on the throne.

Yosef knew he was not alone:

Recap: The Cantors’ niece, Eliana, is visiting and will be going out on a shidduch she doesn’t really want. Bayla realizes, much to her chagrin, that Eliana is going out with Dr. Laurent.

Yaakov’s life was all hard knocks,

Filled with ordeals and aftershocks,

Family agendas and aggravations,

Trauma and drama,

Trials and tribulations.

Tragedy strikes, and the pain of losing a loved one sets in. As if that weren’t enough, dealing with a will (or lack of one) means going to court to settle the estate. If your family member passed away having prepared a will, the will needs to be approved by the probate court before anything is distributed. If they died without a will, it can be even more challenging and the process for that is known as estate administration, which is a form of probate.   If you are fortunate, the person who passed put their assets in a trust, where court intervention is not required, and assets transfer in an easier way to the intended recipients.

Recap: Gloria Jacobson comes as a Shabbos guest. Dr. Laurent is also a Shabbos guest of the Cantors. A letter comes from Shimon Zev, asking Bayla and Mimi to try to use whatever influence they can to get help for the Jews in Europe.
