My shver was niftar motzei Shabbas in NYC. He was ‘lucky’ enough to get a Tahara but we had to bury him al tanai in a temporary grave so we can move him to Israel at a later date. Only option to get to Israel was via a private jet but body could not be escorted by anyone due to the quarantine laws.I have to say this has been one of the most gut wrenching, heart breaking experiences of my life and watch someone who was a true yoreh shamyim to have had a levya with a few people in the rain at the grave site. Not being able to say Kaddish for him, not have a shiva and give proper respect to him has been truly unbearable.This is not to mention he was isolated in an icu unit for two weeks by himself on a ventilator and died by himself with his children not being able to goodbye.I am not someone who would typically share this info but people need to know what we are dealing with here. The pain is too much.

it's good to be a Lubavitcher
R' Gershon Sabol

BDE. He composed the words or the tune? I thought that the tune is much older.
Seems like the lyrics to me.
Where did you quote from?
FB.
So I can't correct the writer.
