  1. May Hashem send refua shleima speedily to all Gedolei Hador. We need them now more than ever. May Hashem send our Mashiach tzidkeinu speedily. I woke up after midnight and realized I should say Tehillim for their refuaa.

  2. Are we ever going to wake up and get the message as to what is going on?
    Are we so steeped in our own own particular agendas that we have no room for other opinions which also conform to a Torah lifestyle.
    As chazal mention: There are 70 acceptable ways of properly looking at Torah.
    Who are we to judge others by what material their yarmulke is made of and how many inches in diameter it encompasses.
    The only true strength Klall Yisroel has is in Tefillah Torah and achdus.
    We are sorely deficient in the last one which is the only one which is bein adom lechaveiro. HKB”H is more interested in that one than the other two.
