This World: Board of Directors, Thanks Rabbi Shmuley For His Gifting

On behalf of This World: The Values Network we would like to take this opportunity to proudly express our support and gratitude to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, for his latest book release, The Michael Jackson Tapes: A Tragic Icon Reveals His Soul in Intimate Conversation.

Rabbi Shmuley has donated a substantial portion of the proceeds of what is thus far a very modest advance from the book to This World – earmarking it specifically for the national initiative, ‘Turn Friday Night Into Family Night’.  Please go to FridayIsFamily.com for details on this outstanding initiative.

We are also grateful that our ‘Turn Friday Night Into Family Night’ initiative has been highlighted by Rabbi Shmuley in all major national TV appearances discussing the book and as a result, we are now in discussions with a major network to air public service announcements featuring national personalities like Kathie Lee Gifford, Dr. Phil, and Dr. Mehmet Oz advocating the ‘Turn Friday Night Into Family Night’ initiative. Rabbi Shmuley has long been one of the country’s leading advocates for family togetherness and values.

Finally, we are delighted to see that the vision shared by Michael and Shmuley, going back eight years, for parents to spend a minimum of one uninterrupted evening with their children per week is finally coming to fruition and receiving the national attention it deserves.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors

This World: The Values Network
