By Benny Friedman
Dear Klal Yisrael,
During these unique and challenging times and especially over Pesach, we realize how much our children gain from our Rabbeim. Please enjoy this music video set to My Dear Rebbe by Benny Friedman and Yitzy Waldner. Chasdei Lev reminds you to always continue appreciating our Rabbeim! It’s so difficult to be out of the classroom and we are counting down the days to when we can get back!
Sitting in the classroom every single day
You help me learn, you teach me how to grow Starting with the letters of the alef bais Rebbe, I owe you everything I know
I am still a child, how can I understand

WATCH:

Bais Medrash Govoah in Lakewood, NJ was turned into a massive food distribution operation as it urged people not to shop and not to visit family this Pesach amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
The yeshiva, utilizing an extensive volunteer network, prepared and is now distributing via drive-thru more than 80,000 meals for local mishpachos ahead of Pesach.

As we approach Pesach, we ask Hashem to protect us, like He did in Mitzraim; as we were then too in our houses the night before we left. May we merit his protection and the Geulah in our time.
I hope this song will bring us all Chizuk.
A good Yom Tov to all.
Yerachmiel Begun

לֵךְ עַמִּי בֹּא בַחֲדָרֶיךָ⁠
וּסְגֹר דְּלָתְךָ בַּעֲדֶךָ⁠
חֲבִי כִמְעַט רֶגַע עַד יַעֲבָר
עַד – יַעֲבָר זָעַם
Go My nation and enter your rooms
And lock your doors behind you
Hide for a little moment, until it passes
Until the anger passes
