    Thank YOU to yeshive.net and rabbi Jacobson. I enjoy the regular programmes and find it amazing that yieden from all ages and backgrounds from around the world feel comfortable to ask questions on their mind. It's so important that yieden get honest clear answers to questions which many may feel can't be asked to anyone! You should be ZOCHA to have the SIYATA,DISHMAYE,to answer the questions the dear neshomos have on their mind.

    Questions from london

    )Hi my name is  Itzik - I’m from London and 15 years old. I lost a very special uncle (who had Down syndrome)- he was only  25 year old..  special neshomeh. He was the love of our family and the life in our community.How can we as a family cope with it? A person who could do no wrong was taken from us by this  virus! what words can I give to my father to comfort him..? And how can I even say anything when I am broken?

     
    2)I’m a yeshivah bochur  with a smartphone.  I want to be a better bochur, but now what I’m finding very hard is my father always goes on that I have to follow the Rabonim . now he himself does  not. He goes to a  minyan,  mikva etc. It  hurts me to see how he picks and chooses. Chaim Klien
     
    3)Rabbi, my name is Benzion I’m 10 years old from London.
    My grandfather was just niftar . He was a great tzaddik,  a  pioneer in the uk! He was a very big Dayan  in Manchester. His name was Rabbi Westheim. He lived his life for others. He was a bal machsher for years! It  hurts me and my family so much that there wasn’t even ten people by his Levaya, everyone that did wrong to him couldnt come and give him the respect that he deserved! Please help! 

    4)My name reizy im 15 and I’m the the oldest  daughter of 12 kids. We are locked in at home...

    Normal hours we can’t get any cooking done so I wake up 4:30 every day to do the work I feel I’m overwhelmed with all this going on! Why does Hashem want this from me? How far do I have to push myself?

    Rochme Katz 

    Uk Manchester

    5) I’m 11 years old. My mother says all this is happening because we don’t behave at school and at home... and we have to do teshuva...

    I’m sad why does our behaviour effect others?

    When will this end? Does  this mean moshiach is coming?

    Yosef zindle gross  London 

    6)Question for Rabbi YY:

    Every year before pesach I always feel looking forward to pesach because i was well prepared with stories and torah from my rebbe in cheder.

     But now in this situation, after being stuck indoors with father mother and siblings, like every jewish home we fought a lot this year and we got on each others nerves etc.

     I can't see myself enjoying pesach and especially the seder with my family, because I'm so bored of them....

    14 years London. Moshe Schwartz 

    7)I'm very nervous about my zeidy and bubby. Are they ok will they be ok?  I can't see them for so long.

    I miss them

    Leah green London 7 years old

    8)My father always busy saying “ki Tov Hashem’ and there’s music blasting thanking hashem!  But where can I see this? all I see is that We are locked home and a boring Yom Tov coming up... no trips no friends... no fun...

    I’m so upset

      To No. 5: IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. DONT EVER BELIVE THAT SOMETHING THAT IS AFFECTING THE WHOLE WORLD IS YOUR AND YOUR FREINDS FAULT. WHETHER GOD EXISTS OR NOT, DO NOT LET ABUSIVE PEPOLE FRIGHTEN YOU INTO SUMBMISSION.

    Questions from london

    1. To rabbi Y.Y. MY name is Shlome Mereles from London and I’m a 14 year old bochur. I never found it hard to be a good bochur. My parents were always complimented about how good I was especially in bein Hazmonim. And this gave me the power to continue. Now I’m finding it really challenging as sadly I can’t do what i can. I feel I can only learn when others when are complimenting me and this is really disturbing me. And this isolation is stifling me. Please guide me how I can cope with this and learn without needing the recognition from others. 

     2.  My name is Shani and Im 11 years old from London.  I was so looking forward to go to my best cousins Chasuna in New York. Now that I am unable to go, it’s so hard to cope with the disappointment especially as I don’t have my friends and school to distract me. 

     3.  My name is Moshe  from Manchester and I’m a bochur 15 years old. (I don’t want to give my full name)  a few months ago I wasn’t accepted into any yeshiva. I’m upset that I Feel good that all yeshivas are closed.  Is it wrong for me to feel like this? And if yes how can I change this feeling? 

     4. My name is Shiffy beigel from London. I feel very disturbed and hurt when I join my class conference calls and i  feel that I’m being ignored. I’m too shy too speak up and instead of feeling more connected after these calls I feel hurt and disrespected? Please help me

     5. My name is Minky from London and I’m 12 years old.

I’m usually a focused and good student and I’m feeling very disturbed that I’m not managing. Please help me 

     6. I’m Amrom 13 years old. I am a son of an Hatzolah member/paramedic. I know that everyone is sacrificing a lot in this hard time. But I feel that we families of Hatzolah sacrifice much more. I know we have great zechusim.what can help us cope with it now whilst it’s all happening. 

     7. To Rabbi YY: “כשם שמברכין על הטוב כך מברכין על הרעה."  What does a person do regarding aveiros, should one thank Hashem for it ? Why isnt like a any bad that one should thank Hashem. Shaye de Vries convey island Essex
