Things are gradually opening up Eretz Yisroel, and hundreds of American yungeleit are returning through their yeshivos.
However, askanim tell Matzav.com that Anglos returning to learn in Eretz Yisroel must be aware of what they will encounter upon their arrival.
“Those coming back must go into full quarantine for two full weeks,” one activist told Matzav.com. “That means no shul, no shopping, no sending kids to gan, etc. just staying in your home.”

We have something unique that no other nation has. We have the Torah that empowers us with the ability to soar above all, to transcend everything and touch eternity.
On Shavuos, the Creator shared with us His essence, the Torah. He began proclaiming the Aseres Hadibros and called out, “Anochi. I am your G-d.” Through those divine words at Sinai, we were given the means to connect to the eternal Source of life. Torah is a unique gift. It is our national and personal identity and credo, as well as our birthright.

Most people are more likely to wind up six feet under because of almost anything else under the sun other than COVID-19.

The following editorial by David Marcus appeared in the New York Post:
Sometimes, a good rant is all a writer can offer. Bear with me.
Last Friday morning, some 3,500 New Yorkers lined up at a Catholic church in Queens to receive free food hours before it even opened, ­according to the New York Police Department. Catholic Charities has reported a 200 percent increase in demand over the past month and a half.
By prolonging the coronavirus shutdown long after its core mission was accomplished, Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio have plunged tens of thousands of New Yorkers into poverty.
It needs to end. Now.

There is a debate raging in this country that affects every one of us. Should the country reopen or should it remain shut? Should virtually everyone be locked in their homes or should people be allowed to work, shop and enjoy life, while doing their best to protect themselves and others? Is this country primarily a capitalist democracy where people have the freedom of choice and are trusted to conduct themselves and their businesses in a responsible way?

As World War II drew to a close in 1945, survivors of the Nazi death camps tried to rebuild their shattered lives in Displaced Person (DP) camps, many of which were housed in the very concentration camps in which Nazis had recently tortured and murdered Jews and others.

Below is the letter from Agudas Kedushas Tzion B’Shem Gedolai Eretz Yisroel
Original Hebrew PDF here and English here
עת צרה היא ליעקב וממנה יוושע
“A difficult time for Yaakov, and he will be redeemed from it.” (Yirmiyahu 30:7)
Who will not shed tears when hearing such terrible news from afar – of the passing of many good and righteous of the Diaspora Jews? We all Daven to Hashem that He removes His wrath from the remnants of his people, and that He will speedily grant us a lasting Yeshua.

I recently went to be menachem avel a couple who lost their child. The conversation was focused on the special neshamos of these holy children. Then someone mentioned that I had once conversed with my special needs son via FC. The couple eagerly asked me for details and I told them whatever I could remember. I promised, though, to send them the word for word transcript I had written back in 2011 when the conversation had taken place. Yesterday, I searched for the document on my computer, and when I found it, I had an urge to read it again after all these years.
I sat, stared at the screen, and cried.
What is FC?

First, my conclusion: The country has taken the wrong approach in confronting the Coronavirus Crisis. The draconian shutdown of the country purportedly to save lives will prove to cause more damage than the Coronavirus.

Chazal say that we live in an “alma deshikra,” a world of lies. Truth plays a small supportive role, if at all, in what goes on in this world. It has always been that way, and it is that way today as well, but we often need to be reminded not to take seriously what is reported in the media. Much of what is propagated there are lies designed to promote their agenda.
