Life, as we now know it, goes on. It is amazing how quickly we adjust. Although we might grumble about the many restrictions, we are blessed to have all our modern conveniences: electricity, kitchen appliances, the phone and of course the internet. Grocery stores are open and restaurants are delivering takeout. None of us are starving even if our favorite items may not be available.
Many of us are reaching out to family, friends and fellow congregants, which I encourage you to keep doing. Overall, most people are happy, relaxed and glad they are still healthy. This week, I had some lovely conversations with people I usually see in person. I've found most of them to not only be upbeat, but also offering to help others in need. My hairdresser, who is required to shut down, told me that most of her clients had offered to pay now for future appointments or simply give her money if she needed it. Times like these can bring out the best in us and it is very uplifting when that happens.
Please keep in touch and absolutely let us know if you are in need.
I encourage you to download Zoom on your computer (zoom.us) if you haven't already and join the meetings Rabbi Kenter is offering. It's really easy and really nice to see each other "in person," as we might not know when we'll meet again.
Stay well and Shabbat Shalom,
Michelle
