Message from Rabbi Simcha Blum
"We are a nation with a strong backbone and a long history, and yet this is a confusing time, in fact a very scary time. Now is the time that we especially need to hold onto our faith. Our faith is great and strong, and it has carried us through for thousands of years. If we can hold onto our faith through prayer, this is where we will find our strength. It is through praying that we will be able to connect to an unlimited power.
The synagogues may be closed, but our homes can now become our synagogues. We are all stuck in our homes now, but these can become a place where we find a time to put ourselves to one side and talk to G-d through prayer. The more we do this, the more support we’re going to feel, and the stronger our backbone will feel. Through prayer, we can feel that we have someone we can rely on. This knowledge, that we will always have our faith, will give us the strength we need to get through this crisis."
