I know how after such a massive loss, your loved ones rush to comfort you, I write half a year later, knowing, for my wife (z'l) passed away suddenly in March, that messages of support may be all the more welcome, in the quieter aftermath. Your evocation of ha-Shem as blessing you and your family moved me greatly. Your courage and fortitude serve as an inspiration for me as a widower. Reply

Thank you Hadas for sharing. As Pierre Poilievre, the head of the Conservative party in Canada communicated, it’s certain that the Jewish people will go on and Am Yisrael Chai. Reply
