¨From the Rabbi’s Study¨

Some of you may have read John Kass’s article in the Tribune this past week about the Leon Family here in West Rogers Park (thanks to Sherwin Mishkin for forwarding the article). If you haven’t read it I recommend it for it encapsulates many of the ups and downs (mostly ups) for the orthodox Jewish community not only pre covid but throughout our cycles of family, holidays, and traditions. Yet even or perhaps because of our isolation we are able to see the good in others and wake up each day in appreciation for what we have. Kedoshim –Holy shall we be the Torah commands on the second of this week’s Parasha. While there may be different interpretations we may all agree that it is both an awesome responsibility and a vote of confidence from Hashem. Let us use this opportunity to grow spiritually be strengthened and emerge as better people than ever before.

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.
