EMERGENCY MITZVAH!
בס"ד
5 Tishrei
We had a beautiful Shabbat Shuvah, Sabbath of Return, filled with song, friends & other blessings, thank G@d. However, others in the world today were not so fortunate, as we had the misfortune to learn after Havdalah tonight. What a blinding tragedy to have happened to the people of south Asia today, & during Ramadan to boot.
We called Kyla right away, to make sure that her family & friends in Pakistan were all safe, find out if there was anything we could do. They're all safe, Barukh HaShem/thank G@d.
