Please daven for Yitzchak Elchanan ben Nechama. May he have a refuah shlema b'soch sha'ar cholei Yisroel.
My friend has just informed me that her son URGENTLY needs your tefillos. He was born with a spinal tumor, which was properly diagnosed only at age one. TG it was benign, but reappeared at age 11. From that surgery he was paralyzed for quite a while, but worked hard to regain functioning. Now he is 24 – and has been found to have a tumor in the BRAIN. Now is the time to daven, while they are running the tests and hoping it will turn out to be benign. So please try to daven for Reuven Benyamin ben Cherna Rivka.
May we always share only good news.
Best wishes, Rivka

A:Nowadays people are not into looking for lost objects Rav Shienberg and Rav Elyashiv say if an item you find is small in value leave it there for owner to find
If it a ring then put up a sign you find money in a store you can keep it
placing something in a lost and found maybe not a good idea you need to watch it Rav Moshe lost and found has a sign people will find there objects The gedolim say a yeshiva at the end of the year should put up a sign if you dont take your sefer it becomes hefker and can be sold
