Coronavirus on My Mind
Today since this virus is found everywhere
I'll stay in my home and won't go anywhere
When people come to visit don't stand so near
If they'll wash their hands then there's nothing to fear
How long will this panic. that's spread so far,
Continue to frighten us wherever we are
You can't run away, there's nowhere to go,
Only HaShem can help, I'm sure that you know
So, we'll pray to HaShem like never before
That this virus will leave and won't be here any more
In China or India or even LA
The people will know that there's no other way
So, raise up your eyes to the One up there,
Be happy and thank Him that He's aware.
Ready to help, so there's nothing to fear.
He'll remove this panic that we have down here.

Thx for those well written words
AWESOME POEM! and Amen to all your wishes. Two years later and the virus still lingers, so and let's hope it will soon be vanquished. Shabbat Shalom.
Glad to have someone to guide me in my studies during these times of isolation

Everyone needs to read this..i copied it but so important and it’s exactly where our society is today!
I talked to a man today
I talked with a man today, an 80+ year old man. I asked him if there was anything I can get him while this Coronavirus scare was gripping America.
He simply smiled, looked away and said:
"Let me tell you what I need! I need to believe, at some point, this country my generation fought for... I need to believe this nation we handed safely to our children and their children...
I need to know this generation will quit being a bunch of sissies...that they respect what they've been given...that they've earned what others sacrificed for."
I wasn't sure where the conversation was going or if it was going anywhere at all. So, I sat there, quietly observing.
"You know, I was a little boy during WWII. Those were scary days. We didn't know if we were going to be speaking English, German or Japanese at the end of the war. There was no certainty, no guarantees like American
Donny, where did that “I talked to a man...” come from originally?
Where can I find the entire article about I talked to a man??

Its quite simple, Hashem is telling us to stop mistreating, killing and eating his creatures. You can't mercifully kill an animal that doesn't want to die.
Michael Gubov, you have no idea of what you are talking about. Being a vegetarian is unhealthy and the Torah never suggests a Jew to be a vegetarian. Please take a look a the pesach offering, you do not sacrifice a vegitable or fruit.
SO TRUE!!!!!! ALWAYS SPEAK, DEFEND AND PROTECT THE VOICELESS!!!!!!!! HARRIET BEECHER STOWE ONCE WROTE: "IT'S A MATTER OF TAKING THE SIDE OF THE WEAK , AGAINST THE STRONG.- SOMETHING THE GREATEST PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS DONE"!!!!
Please refer to the teachings of Rav Kook. Being a Vegetarian is unhealthy? That is antiquated thinking, recent science shows that eating animals comes with a myriad of poor health issues including heart disease, diabetes, and others. Hashem directed us to eat animals as a temporary solution to having no plants after the flood. Have you ever seen a kosher slaughtering or any slaughtering? There is no way that's what G-d wanted for his animals for a second of your pleasure. Wake up!

Tzedaka “everyday”?
This morning I received the email from Chabad.org with many good ideas. The one idea I don’t know how to accomplish “everyday” is this one I quote here:
<<Tzedakah (Charity) campaign to make personal giving (to the cause of one’s choice) a daily must-do (except for Shabbat and holidays)! >>
How does one accomplish this everyday?!??
Thanks for your insight...
Stay well...

Having a tzedakah box (aka a "pushka") in every room of the house in a visible place, and placing a few coins in it regularly, is the best way to fulfill this mitzvah every day, and even several times a day.
The way of Chabad lights up the world. We are iinspired being a part of this family. We pray for the speedy relief of all who are suffering

This is a wonderful site and I thank G-D for the privilof being able. To access. Thank you so very much.
My own memory of Dublin:
In 1984 I attended an academic conference at Trinity College in Dublin. I arrived and immediately went for a walk to get to know at least the immediate area, something I always like to do when visiting a new place. I hadn't walked far when I noticed a fellow walking in a rather crooked line, looking as if he had had a good deal to drink. He was heading straight (well, not so straight) for me, and on his shirt was the name "Paddy". He reached me and stood directly in my way, so I couldn't move.
"You Jewish?" he asked, a bit belligerently.
With my black suit and black hat I could hardly deny it. "Yes," said I, hoping I would get away suffering nothing worse than a few unpleasant words.
"Well," said Paddy, "if you should want to find the synagogue, just turn left a block from here and then go straight." Just wanted to be helpful. And though I was only in Dublin for a few days, everyone I met was just as hospitable. Fond memories.
Trouble shopping for Passover now. I had problems , walking without falling and getting exhausted last year. My Family Dr. insisted I get a walker, which I did. The difficulty is getting on buses with it and crossing heavily trafficked streets fast enough with it. Rideshare services such as Lyft cost money, and I am on a fixed income. Also I don't want to overload any vehicle with groceries. I am concerned about Passover and acquiring the basics, like Matzoh, Kosher Grape juice, Macaroons, horseradish. I have cooked a number of things in the past , but getting to the market and finding these things are difficult right now. I am not buying any more chametz at this time. I'm in a small studio apt. with limited storage.
May I suggest you reach out to your local chabad and to your synagogue and any women's group you may belong to... many of them offer help, or try and link you with people who can help...
Maybe chabad can arrange a kosher delivery?
You are not alone my dear friend...
May God bless you and all of us and keep us safe
Thank you for all chabad does ... 💝
You don’t know how many people get so much out of reading, learning, thinking, sharing and making thanks to all of you that work so hard to put this wonderful website up for all of us, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and all the world readers.
Shalom Wendy, amen to your comment...
May G-d grant us all the merit to learn and grow with chabad's help and come through these challenging times
very inspiring, thank you. With Pessach coming soon, any word about Seder?
What are the recommended Psalms?
Thanks for all the good teachings. I certainly need a daily dose from our Rabbis to keep me close to Hashem.
thank you Chabad for everything!!!
Thank you, Chabad for all you do to keep us informed and closer to HaShem.
May it all be revealed soon with the coming of the Moshiach Amen
Thank you Chabad for the Day of Prayer Broadcast today! We appreciate it very much! May HaShem cure all the people who are sick! Amen!
This is your reminder that COVID is not over; in fact, we're in the middle of a major surge and there's a new variant, JN.1. To say that COVID is over is both factually incorrect and an undeserved slap in the face to people like me who've had it multiple times. Please consider masking at synagogue to protect those of us who are immunocompromised. I see this as a form of pikuach nefesh.
