Two stories this week, the first about a coin from the Beit HaMikdash that goes missing at an event of great rabbis in Pressburg and the second about how Rabbi Levi Yitzchak, the father of the last Lubavitcher Rebbe, stood up against the Soviet Union.

Aleichem Shalom our sweetest friend,
I am listening this morning on Chof Av which gives special meaning to the story about Harav Levi Yitzchok Schneerson zy”a. There was a livestreamed farbrengen last night with Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin of JEM and Rabbi Shais Taub. If you have time you might listen to the recording on YT. It was a special event with a story of a letter sent by the Rebbe’s father to him about a pair of shoes that you might add to your repertoire.
We want Moshiach now.
More mitzvahs. More acts of kindness. More generosity with more than money. More light. More positivity. More tzedaka. More. More. More.
B’ezrat Hashem for the continuing unity of the people Israel.
Blessings to you and your sweetest family.
Have a spectacular day,!
Zei gezundt.
Kindest regards
