most relevant in today's time during coronavirus .Instead of lingering days and nights over the virus himself ,counting the sick and the dead, is it not more appropriate to consider the similarities between the דינים of טומאה and טהרה and the virus .We have now a better view to try understand how was it possible for our ancestors to live a daily life full of traps, to become טמא i.e by any dead שרץ or אוהל המת .Life was continuously full of pitfalls !

How did they manage ?? And if they did ,how can we manage with all the safeguards we have to consider these days with the virus (quarantine,fomite ,etc ) ? You will admit it's pretty exhausting already to watch yr steps this way ,although we are only in to this for a few weeks !

dirty money?
My shver told me when he was a teenager he went to a chabad camp and the counselors had a sign on their door “money is the root of all evil; leave your evil here." The ideas was that monet was bad, so leave your bad stuff with us. something like that.

One time the rebbe came he saw it he made them take it down he said money is not bad; money could be the best thing in the world. It all depends how you spend it.

sweeter than honey
Great. Finally, it does not feel so incomprehensible, far fetched and just way beyound us.You taught us the spiritual side of it, the depth behind it.

Also you made sure we do not allow the endless details to confuse us and take over the conversation here.

Today's class the intro to purity and imputiory was delicious, masuk m'dvash!

AHA
Eye opening. I had an AHA moment. The entire subject and process came to light in a new way.

I finally understood the sensitivity of a Neshamah of a Jew, which I never really understood.

What also came up for me: I travel a lot and over many years I have seen Chassidim of the Lubavitcher Rebbe ariound the globe, and how careful they are with food and so many other things. I never really understood why.

Not I got it.

I think the understanding of this is lacking in our Mosdos and our community.
