english summary?

Its from the Yom Kippur liturgy and also the Medrash Eicha. Here is my informal translation:

Rabbi Yishmael purified himself and mentioned the ineffable name of Hashem and went up to the Heavens and asked from the man wearing linen and he told him that the dear tzaddikim should accept this upon themselves, because I heard from behind the partition that with this you will be captured.

The reference is to how when they started killing the Asarah Harugei Malchus (the ten great martyrs) the great Rabbi (who I believe was also Kohain Gadol) went up to ask if this was a Heavenly decree.

I believe our communities were definitely hit pretty hard percentage wise.  Might be because of purim,  or because we visit our elders quite often. Either way enough is enough and lets hope for the geula!

Our communities were hit pretty hard because we're a community. I don't think the numbers are any different than the general population, but as a community we feel for each other much more than anyone else. A goy in Monsey doesn't have any out of the ordinary feeling for another goy in Crown Heights, but a yid feels for another yid no matter where they are.

We are harder hit simply because we care for each other more.

If we take our percentage in the general population we were hit a lot harder than others. In Toronto about 10% of all critical cases in the city were Orthodox Jews. That’s over 100 times our percentage of the general population. The numbers in NY are probably way out of proportion as well.  If we compare Orthodox Jews be the rest of the state.

He was a man who didn't live a single moment of his adult life for himself. He stood at the Rebbe's side every second for more than 40 years. After gimmel tammuz he dedicated his life to sharing every ounce that he had; every story, every drop of inspiration. He wrung himself dry.

And he will be buried quietly, without most of his children, without any of his fellow Chassidim. There won't be a shivah, there won't be grand statements. There'll just be R' Leibel Groner buried in the same manner her lived, complete and total bitul.

If you read how the virus writes then you understand why it the Jewish community so hard.

The probability clause.. if 100 have it.. not every single person they encounter will get it.

If you are one person what you encounter somebody who has it you may not get it But if you encounter five people have it.. your chances are much higher

I think just how the community is so interwind. Schools, stores, celebrations, Purim between Megila reading, shalach Manos , seuda etc.
