Dear Editor,
A gitten Zimmer.

This was definitely one for the books. A Yom Tov apart from our families. Sedarim with one or two people. But BH we made it thorough and we passed with flying colors, as the saying goes. Now as we count down, or up to Lag B’omer and Shvuos, it is incumbent upon us to shteig just as the count does. Someone mentioned that his learning and shmoneh esrei’s have never been better. This probably applies to most of us. We have been taken out of our normal element, out of our shuls, and thrust into a lonely davening. But the reality is that it was always about two, each of us and Him. And that is what it is now.

The Abishter never left this equation. He was always there and he continues to be there. He just wants us to do what we have been doing, namely, improving our davening. And so we have BH passed that test, and iyh we will soon be let out of this Golus within a Golus, and we will once again be zoiche to be with our friends, and daven together and be mekadeish sheim shomayim, just as we are doing now.

We are all giving the Abishter such nachas ruach, with how we have been behaving. It’s not all negative. It’s not all bad. We are doing the right thing, we just have to believe that this is all for our good, and we will emerge from this better people and better ovdei Hashem..

Be proud…

You’re doing great…
