¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨
During these past few months we have been inundated with statistics. We read daily about the number of Covid cases world-wide. The numbers are astonishing and sometimes have a tendency to deflect our attention from the individual to the communal. Last week the New York Times published an edition which included tens of thousands of names who passed away from the Coronavirus. Some of the names included a brief description of who they were and what they represented. It was a stark reminder that this plague is not just a statistic but affects every individual from all walks of life. In fact we Jews who know full well how to mourn the kedoshim of the Shoah; not just the incredible number of deaths but their names, ages and accomplishments.
This week’s Parshas Naso records the names of each tribal leader and in an amazing display of individual recognition employs the exact same language over and over again. This repetitive exercise is an important lesson. Every individual is special in the eyes of G-d. None of us is merely a statistic and each of us deserves the dignity that it implies. May we always be cognizant of these lessons as we plod through these long periods of social isolation.
Good Shabbos
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.
