Covid-19: Realizing We Don’t Have Forever
Covid-19
Most people know the truth about what they should be doing in life, but they feel like they have a lot time and, eventually, one day they will get there. Our Rabbis taught us to view every day of life like it is the last one. Whatever we feel we should be doing, we should start immediately. There is no such thing as a last minute segula to do. It is the same 613 mitzvot. If we follow our basic obligations and serve Hashem the way we are supposed to, we’ll always feel secure.
At this time now, we are experiencing another world calamity. With a tiny little virus, Hashem has brought the entire world to its knees. Our security cannot protect us. Our businesses and finances cannot protect us. With all of the advanced technology in the world of 2020, nobody could figure out how to cure it. The only physical cure is the healthy body that Hashem created. The world around us is being shut down. Will we finally come to the realization that nobody and nothing can help us other than our Avinu shebaShamayim.
What is covid? Rashi says it means humility, recognizing we are nothing and we can’t do anything without Hashem. We need to call out to Him with covid(humility). And what should we call out? 19 – the 19 berachot of the Amida.
Let us pray with humility and recognize we have nothing other than Hashem. Let us make the move now and subjugate our lives to follow His will. Let us become the people we know we can and should be and improve our religious observance in all areas. And then, b’ezrat Hashem, Hashem will remove all sickness from our midst and b’ezrat Hashem, He will allow us to experience the glory of Melech HaMashiach במהרה בימינו Amen!!
