Weekly Story: Is It A Step Backwards or Forward?

I chose this weeks story as we are all under some form of containment etc., and to many of us this is a major step backwards. We can’t daven in a minyan, we can’t attend shiurim and our children are not in Yeshiva, and so on. Yet we have to realize that each step backwards is in order to enable us to leap forward.

Weekly Story: Don’t Be Fooled

This past week there were many interesting farbrengens in honor of Beis Iyar, and I listened to some of them. One of them was by Rabbi Akiva Wagner, may he speedily have a complete refuah, (and it can be heard on Youtube). I decided to rewrite a few of the interesting points that he mentioned, and obviously listening to it in its entirety, will be a much more rewarding experience.
