Toward the end of the shiur, we briefly explore the essential concept of “Yichud Kudsha B’rich Hu u’Shechintei” and study a the Degel’s deep and inventive reading of a familiar pasuk.

Dovid & his father, renowned askan Rabbi Moshe Yosef Oberlander, were both admitted to the corona ward on the same day. Rabbi Moshe Oberlander passed away a month ago. Dovid, his only son, was not aware of his passing as he himself was unconscious on a respirator.
In his life, Rabbi Dovid Oberlander was a loving father & husband, who worked in high-tech. He was instrumental in helping many other religious Jews to find similar work, enabling them to support their families.
