Ohr is one of the two main Kabbalistic metaphors for the light of understanding God with the mystery of divine influence, along with the other metaphor of the human soul-body relationship. Esther Lewin is now her Jewish, married name as she lives joyfully with her husband and son in Israel.

info_outlineThe story goes that Kansas City was just supposed to be a pit stop on the road back home for Frank Boal. He’d cut his teeth in a large television market and eventually go cover the boyhood teams he once cheered.
But once he got to Kansas City he loved it. The people reminded him of people in Pittsburgh, his hometown. They’re warm, charming and love their teams. Frank became part of the fabric of Kansas City, emerging as one of its most recognizable media personalities ever to walk across the TV screen as he carved out a 36-year career mostly as a sports director. It’s a body of work that is tough to match and why the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame is proud to induct Boal with the Class of 2017.
Frank spent 28 years at WDAF-TV in Kansas City and then finished his career at KSHB-TV, all the while working for 810 WHB Radio and earning respect from the athletes and coaches he covered.
