¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Greetings to all on this Rosh Chodesh Iyar. While we commemorate Yom Hashoa and celebrate Yom Haatzmeut in the privacy and hopefully safety of our homes we also do so with the same and perhaps greater fervor then we might in the public theatre. We might consider that Anne Frank and family attempted to survive the brutality of the Germans during World War II by hiding in a tiny attack in Amsterdam. Every siren they heard may have been directed at them. Those who lived in Eretz Yisroel prior to May 1948 and defended the country pre and post independence know very well the pains of isolation but the single-minded purpose of their mission. The late great Menachem Begin hid in room after room running and hiding from the British who had a bounty of his life. Natan Sharansky lived in isolation in the Gulag yet survived and thrived through hope and prayer that one day he will succeed in making aliyah. These are both the challenges and hopes that we face on this very week of Yom Hashoa, Yom Haatzmeut and Rosh Chodesh Iyar.

Good Shabbos, Chodesh Tov and Chag Someach.

Rabbi A. M. Abramson

REFUAH SH’LAIMAH:
To all those who are not well as well as those worldwide with this virus. We mention their names at each Torah reading and think about them in our private tefillos. Let Hashem hear our tefillos on their behalves, and all have a speedy recovery. If there is a choleh that needs a misheberach, please email their name to anshemotele@sbcglobal.net .
Since we are not at shul with Torah readings, in your private shmone esrai, you can include in the “Refaeinu” paragraph a special tefilla for the cholim that you have in mind.
