With increasing awareness about washing hands to prevent the spread of infection, especially with the contagiousness of the H1N1 virus, New York City has published signs calling for better hygiene.

I am truly jealous of the zchusim of a most special yid, R’ Shimshon Halperin, for putting Asher yotzar “on the map”.
