Dear Friends & Anash sheyichyu,
Last Summer, we did a huge campaign of Tfillin, because of the situation then. Now it’s something different.
We all know the devastating news of Chaya Mussia Zaltzman’s passing, a beautiful 6 year old child, granddaughter of our dear friend & Shliach, Rabbi Yoseph Zaltzman sheyichye. We are shattered. We must all ask ourselves: What can we do?
Recently, our friend, Reb Leib Kaushansky sheyichye of our Community lost three loved ones: Two children & his wife.
What can we do? I don’t know.
Maybe Moshiach is waiting for there to be more Achdus amongst us. Let’s talk to each other, smile, say good morning, & let’s mean it. Let’s forget our differences. “Chassidim One Family,” right? Do we believe that, or is it just words?!
We have great Shluchim, here in Toronto. Let’s help them! We are lucky to have wonderful Mosdos.
There are people suffering in our community! Let’s help them.
We’re all very busy. But I think in light of the situation, we can all give a half hour for the Rebbe.
Let’s give a half hour or even 20 minutes, for learning Chassidus every morning, before davening, that’s the basics of being a Lubavitcher!
We will be continuing the campaign of Mivtzoyim for Tfillin, @ No Frills, every single Sunday till Rosh Hashana, so let’s use out the great Summer & nice weather, (it will be freezing again soon) to wrap Jews with Tfillin! Neshek for Women!
There is a man, whom, because of last year putting on Tfillin @ No Frills, was invited for a Shabbos. He was thrilled to get invited, as no one ever invited him before. 1 year later, he now has his own Tfillin, & he puts on every day!!
May we see Moshiach now, when G-d will erase all our tears, but until then, let us do, as the Rebbe writes, “One action is worth more than 1 thousand groans!”
Sincerely,
Rabbi Yirmi Cohen
Thornhill, Ont.
