Good Day. Recently I wrote requesting an intervention/mediation/facilitation on behalf of my younger brother, Maurice Goodman regarding his son Daniel Goodman. What I need is an email address for my nephew (who is married to Naomi Wloschowsky) so that the community Rabbi, Jonathan Fox, may start a dialogue with Daniel with a view to forgiveness in the first place of his father Maurice, and then hopefully to proceed to a full unification of that family. Please note that I have not included myself as I have no need to be in touch with Daniel and Naomi.
Maurice is a resident in the Selwyn Segal unit of the Chevrah Kadisha as he suffers from a brain trauma caused by an unsuccessful suicide attempt. He presents as normal, his emotions are not engaged (but he does sometimes tear up when I speak to him of his son and grandchildren. After the failed suicide he was diagnosed with Bipolar Mood Disorder (Manic Depressive) which was previously unknown.
It is my belief that Daniel and Naomi can arrive at a place and time in their lives when they will welcome Maurice as part of their family unit. If there is a similar place of safety for Maurice closer to them than let’ say Johannesburg South Africa, my first prize is that the will be sponsored by them to join them there in Melbourne. However, that is not in the close future although miracles have been known to occur.
This is my second letter and I hope that you will kindly respond so that I can forward your comments/remarks/suggestions and most importantly Daniel’s email address.
Thank you.
