Responding to Unfavorable News

Recently, in my correspondence with Rabbi Chaim Eisen, I mentioned to him that the health of a friend had “taken a turn for the worse.” It caused me to wonder, given that there were Jewish responses for so many situations, if there is a “traditional Jewish response to the hearing of unfavorable news.” Here is what he wrote in response.

Passover Proof that Israel is Home

You know you are home as a Jew on Pesach/Passover when…

Israel is home for the Jewish people, no questions asked. The only place in the world where the national culture and calendar is Jewish.

Every year at the Passover Seder Jews around the world proclaim “Next year in Jerusalem”. It is not just something nice to say, but something to live by.

Many of us have been blessed to make that proclamation come true. We are waiting for everyone else to join us.

Comments and Compliments

We get so many unsolicited comments and compliments! Here is one about the Website Launch and 2021 Achievements Party we ran a short while back thru Givebutter:

Hi Gidon,

I just wanted to let you know that I watched your entire livestream party and am so happy about the directing your organization is going. I’m so thankful you have so many incredible resources!

I look forward to learning more about Rabbi Steinsaltz. What an incredible person! I also look forward to reading the books you spoke about.

I’m glad your launch was a success and it was an honour to be a part of it.

Shalom,

Laura Delegarde
