My dear brothers and sisters, fellow members of Am Yisroel,

Please take it seriously.

Yes, of course, I am referring to the Corona Virus and the importance of following the directives of Gedolei Yisroel and the medical professionals to ensure that you protect your own health, and do not do anything to Chas V'shalom endanger the health of others.

But, more importantly, please take the underlying message of this plague seriously.

Hashem has brought this Corona upon us. It's easier - and more convenient - to point fingers and explain away the origins of a calamity than to grasp and accept that it is the Etzba Elokim, the finger of Hashem that brought this to us.

Hashem is talking to us, His beloved children. Are we listening?

Hashem wants us to look inward and upward. Inward, to see how each of us, as individuals, can put his/her finger on the personal source of this virus. Upward, to recognize that it is all from above, down to the last microbe.

Chazal tell us:
אין פורענות באה לעולם אלא בשביל ישראל

Calamities befall this world only for the benefit of Am Yisroel, to help us reset our lives and help us refocus our attention where it belongs, on Hashem, on His Torah, on His people.

We must continue to strengthen ourselves in Torah learning, add sincerity to our davening boost the amount of Tzedakah we give, add more Chesed to our lives, delete negative speech from our existence and make sincere commitments to keep focused even after Hashem removes this tzarah from our midst. Only by showing Him that we got the message, and are ready to make real change will we merit the reopening of our Shuls, schools and Yeshivos. Only by committing to not go back to "life as usual" after this is over, will we merit a speedy Yeshuah.

 
One last point:

Many are busy watching the news, checking for updates every few minutes, waiting for the new news cycle for some new development, hoping for some new vaccine or drug or dreading some new government mandated restriction.

"News" in our holy tongue is referred to as חדשות, "Chadashot".

Please remember that news is not something that happens; news is what Hashem allows to happen!

כי הוא לבדו...עושה חדשות

Hashem, and ONLY Hashem decides what happens and doesn't happen in this world, HIS world!

I hear people say things like "The world is out of control" and "We can't control this virus". My dear brothers and sisters, this world and this virus is not out of control; it is merely out of OUR control. This is not something new, this is how it has always been, and will always be. Hashem was, is, and will always be at the helm. The only thing that we control - as humans with Bechira, free will - is our ability to recognize and internalize this truth. The sooner we do, the better off we will all be!

The virus that is here today is not the same virus that will be here tomorrow, as the world is created anew each and every day!
המחדש בטובו בכל יום תמיד מעשה בראשית

If we keep our focus where it is supposed to be, then we will merit that tomorrow's world that Hashem creates is one that is sans Corona.

We must stop putting our trust in mortals who are here today, gone tomorrow,
תצא רוחו ישב לאדמתו ביום ההוא אבדו עשתנתיו
and put our complete and total trust in the only One whose existence is real, eternal and undeniable: Hashem Echad!


Wishing all of us a Shabbos filled with Emunah, Bitachon, Simcha, Achdus and a real understanding that while Shabbos is a reminder that Hashem created the world 5,780 years ago, it is also a good time to remember that Hashem creates the world anew each and every day!
 
With Torah blessings and love for each and every Jew,
 
Ben Olam Haba

Dear Hashem

1.   It’s a good time because all the Jews are now working from home (which means they could work from anywhere in the world – like Eretz Yisroel)

2.   The shuls and schools are already closed (and can safely be plucked and moved to Eretz Yisroel)

3.   The planes are grounded (waiting to fly all the Jewish people home to Eretz Yisroel)

4.   The Egged buses are parked (waiting to pick up Jews from Ben Gurion Airport)

5.   The streets and airports are empty (to accommodate the world-wide Aliyah of the Jewish people)

6.   The hotels and vacation apartments in Eretz Yisroel are empty (to accommodate the new olim)

7.   The temple mount is closed (making safe way for the Beit HaMikdash)

8.   The Israeli government is not (officially) functioning

9.   The world economy is collapsing (and there’s nothing to rely on but You)

10.   There’s no more Hollywood, NBA, NASCAR or Olympics (the false gods are all dead)

11.   Eretz Yisroel had a record setting rainy season, the Kineret is full (so there’s plenty of water for all the Jewish people)

12.   The weather is mild and dry for the rest of the week (making it easy for the Jews to walk to Yerushalayim)

13.   Pesach is coming (and hand-made shmura matzah tastes better with a korban)

14.   There’s a mitzvah to stay indoors while there’s a plague outside (just  like in Mitzrayim)

Now would be the perfect time to bring Mosiach!

Love, the Jewish people

They gave another phone number to hear the playback, but I missed it. It was one of the Lakewood shiur phone systems. I'll try to find out which one.

There was a drosha given last week by Rav Malkiel Kotler and Rav Efraim Wachsman. Does anyone know where to get a recording of it?
Thanks.
