As we find ourselves in very challenging times, facing newnisyonos from many directions, Klal Yisroel, as always, is shining in many ways. The gemilus chasadim that organizations and individuals are providing in unique and special ways is truly amazing! The spread of Torah learning via countless teleconferences, featuring thousands of new shiurim and chizuk speeches on timely topics, are helping us strengthen our levels of avodas Hashem in teshuva u’maasim tovim. One of the many areas of improvement where many have taken concrete steps is in the challenges of technology. Individuals have taken steps, each on his own level, thousands have joined public kabbalos in this area, and day by day, Yidden are being mischazeik even as the challenges get harder and harder for many reasons. No Yid may .“ואתם לא תצאו איש מפתח ביתו עד בקר” )שמות יב:כב( :Before Makkas Bechoros at the time of Yetzias Mitzrayim, Hashem told Bnei Yisroel leave the threshold of his home on that night. We find that Makkas Bechoros is considered not only the last of the ten makkos, but also the beginning of the Geula. Seforim explain (see ‘Ohr Hamoed’) that Hashem set up the whole stage of Makkas Bechoros: All the Yidden staying in their homes eating the Korban Pesach and putting the dam Pesach on their doors. All of this was a way of showing that the Yidden live in their sacred homes of kedushah without outside influences, and in that zechus of keeping their homes separate, with kedushas Yisroel, they were zoche to the Geula of Yetzias Mitzrayim. As we stand in Nissan, the month of Geula, just a few days before the Yom Tov of Pesach, accompanying us are the thousands of kabbalos, chizukim and upgrades of Klal Yisroel strengthening and upholding the kedusha of our homes. May we be zoche that this should herald the Smart Choices !חג כשר ושמח !ultimate Geula that we all so longingly await ועת צרה היא ליעקב וממנה יושע ועת צרה היאSITUATION ועת ליעקב CURRENT צרהOF THEוממנה היא ועתLIGHT יושעIN ליעקב צרה BY TAG היא וממנה ליעקביושע PUBLICIZED וממנה LETTER יושעAWARENESS
