The year of the Zoom
2020 – the year we lost to China 🇨🇳
Oysgezoomt
BH
We knew everything would turn on its head before moshiach coming.. We just didn’t know what that meant!! Who could have dreamed this one up?
Trust in Hashem
a year we all want to forget
There is plenty good. To forget means to not take any lessons from etc. I’m sure you learnt something positive from 2020 and if you haven’t, that doesn’t mean we all haven’t. I want to remember this year and grow from it
The year of patience
The year of seeing we are stronger than we think
The year of overcoming challenges
The year of appreciating breathing, tasting, smelling
The year of joy from the small stuff
Precious / grateful (it made everyone stop and think about life)
The year that zoomed by
I guess they were not in Russia in 1938
Or Europe during the war and concentration camps
Spoiled self centered American snowflakes
…during the Black Death (30% or more mortality rate, not 0.6%)
…at the time of the Churban, when parents were eating their children
Etc., etc. So yes, not just spoiled, but bereft of any sense of history or proportion.
were you?
But you can’t tell a young orphan that this was not the worst year for them just because they didn’t live through the holocaust
Having a family ripped apart by death is tragic no matter when it happens
“worst year ever _for me_” or “_for you_.” They said “worst year ever,” period. So yes, pointing out that this one probably doesn’t even crack the top 10 is perfectly in order.
but this is not what Time is saying. The comments still stand. May it be a much better year for all the world… yes, Mashiach ,please!!!!!!
A person is allowed to struggle.
For many this was the most difficult year of their lives.
The fact that “others have it worse” has never brought healing or comfort to anyone.
Jews are rachmonim – have rachmonus on people who are suffering, here and now, and don’t tell them that they’re ungrateful.
An introvert’s Dream
the year my jewish community let the world down and didn’t wear our masks.
The year you got fooled
Yes!
A big Chilul Hashem, whether, you believe in masks/ covid or not, they still did the opposite of what the gov said
The great reset
the year when systemic racism finally starting to be acknowledged.
When they close down shuls, but encourage BLM looting. you probably mean systemic racism pro blacks and against Jews. Oh, I forgot, that’s not called racism….
That person probably meant anti semitism
the year trump lost the election
You mean the Dems/Zuckerberg STOLE the election. Trump won by a landslide. We all know it. Did Biden really get 12 million more votes than Obama? Don’t think so
Trump won Biden cheated
don’t tell me that a man who couldn’t fill up a highschool hall got 12 million + more votes than obama
The year we lost some of our best and greatest chasidim
one of the saddest times in our history.
A year we must all remember in honor of the thousands and thousands of lives lost due to the carelessness of those who refuse to wear masks.
So many passed away before any discussion of masks came up.
Shhh… don’t tell the facts to the mask cult. They might accuse you of murder
Lol
Hashem decides when a person’s time comes. People wearing a mask can’t keep them alive unless Hashem still wants them here. WE ARE NOT SMARTER THAN HASHEM.
Yes, absolutely true. But it is the smart ones who actually put on the masks not only for themselves but for the sake of others.
Human beings are not powerful enough to cause deaths.
The year George Floyd woke this country up and white people finally started listening.
Sure. Started listening how BLM were free to destroy Black owned business’ and places of employment. Create a tremendous surge in black crime victims thanks to the abolish the police push and no bail. Fundraise millions off the backs of blacks but did not use it to uplift a single black community. Can’t fix stupid
With such friends who needs enemies? I actually feel bad for my decent black neighbors…
George Floyd? Did you know this was his 9th arrest? Did you know he put a gun to a pregnant black woman’s belly while holding her up in her own home so his pal can clean out her stuff? George Floyd the Saint! And what the hell does George Floyd have anything to do with the cops up here in NYC? And guess who controlled all the levers of power in his town at the time? The super caring democrat party saviours of no one. They are exclusively responsible for how badly George Floyd was treated. But let’s elect them… Read more »
That still doesn’t make it right to kneel on someone neck!
You realize that kissing up to a bunch of angry Marxists won’t win you any points, right? You’re a Jew, which means that you’re just a politically exploitable pawn, enough to show that “we have jews on our side” before aaaaallll the anti-Semitic tropes come back. You got duped, and you deserve it.
BLM and their inspiration and their strength
“rioting” and “looting.”
The year is still 5781 and we need to keep building in Torah and mitzvos, keep pushing for a bigger and better Chidon, more mivtzoim, more people learning likutei sichos and chitas than ever before
The year Biden won and America holds the promise of hope again.
Didn’t Obama promise hope too? And did nothing. I guess one can always offer a promise of hope again. Especially after grifting in public office for 40+ yrs. Recycle reuse. Rinse repeat
And steal the taxpayers$. Rob them blind. And use whatever is left to harass and oppress them. Modern day slavery.
Even if you say Obama didn’t add to America, he didn’t take away. Even before COVID, America was in a BAD place with Trump in the lead! The debt is more than ever before! Decibel!
Thank you Hashem. Thank you Hashem. Thank you Hashem!
the year that has hopefully made us all better, more compassionate individuals.
A year of growth with some hard parts that were never experienced before.
The year a woman of color became VP thank Gd
Is that what makes a VP?/
Yes if it’s her only claim to fame. Except that she had always identified herself as Indian up until now. Fake. Perfect for made in China.
Deceptive. Unmasked politicians.
One step closer to the geula shlaima!
Moshiach now! Ad mosai!
A year that challenged us to rethink, reinvent, readjust
Just tears for all the lives lost throughout this country and the world
It was a hard year but thanks to hashem we lived to 2021
finding a new appreciation for your loved ones
A year of appreciating the blessings we have, and being present
We learned to cook, be creative, spend time with our families, reconnect and reunite in a way that the Rebbe has taught us to use technology which we never had before and came just when we needed it the most!
America becoming communism
The year that our schools risked the lives of their teachers and staff in the name of education.
Not one teacher was forced to return against their will
Peer pressure?
money?
Year of Growth
2020 was the year of project likutei sichos. Thousands have joined…put away the politics and help us learn the Rebbe’s Torah together!
A year of priorities
SHNAS HINEI MOSHIACH BO
2020 milchemes gog umogog
A year we received 2020 vision
A year of revealed goodness
When yidden completely broke through the tzimtzum by still celebrating Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and especially Sukkos beyond the pale of average. It was a Simcha ad bli dai. My most beautiful tishrei ever!
a year when Jewish Lives Mattered more than ever
I would say, a year when life in general mattered more than ever 😉
The beginning of Trump 2024
To make America heal again
He’ll be a skeleton by then 😂 trump 💀 for president?
1933 to 1945 were the worst years for klall yisroel
hisgalus melech hamoshiach
VACC TO THE FUTURE
You go first. I’ll pass. You can have mine doses forever. Because I’m so kind. Enjoy!
But it also means vaccine takers get first priority when it comes to icu beds and other medical care
The mabul was worst year
No…Just….No.
Was a good year for those still able to comment here
How do you know? Did they tell you? Maybe those who were sent lemayla would disagree? It is us down here that suffer until moshiach comes. Once you leave it’s a different reality, of אמת and שלום. But it’s only here where our actions and choices actually make a difference.
they’re alive and thats what counts
The year of the worst president and VP ever elected Biden/Harries and most fraudelent election
What point is there to still complain about it??? It happened
What happened? The election has not been certified yet. Jan 6. And Jan 20 is the actual final date written in constitution. Media does not get to decide elections
Sorry, but now it has been certified. Just because you dream of something, doesn’t mean you get it.
Best year yet!
Yes there was sadness and pain…….there was also an abundance of good, love, kindness and unity this year.
the year people fled from new york
The year that opened our eyes to Moshiach!
Spent more time at home with family and realized I have a wife and children B”H
World changing
When the Eibershter put everyone in their place.
A year of Faith
Seeing it clearly.
Faith in the face of both the loss and miracles we experienced this year.
Faith through the medical confusion.
Faith through seeming injustices.
Faith …..
עד דלא ידע
2020 was one of my best years ever, because this year i finally started getting the help that i need.
Hashem gave us a not so gentle reminder who runs the world.
The year humanity lost their sanity…
And believed the politicians:(
The year of very strong opinions.
The year of resilience
In 2020 we learned that there is only 1 person that knows what will happen tomorrow!
Moshiach now!
A year that we were forced to become more than we thought we were, in order to survive more than we thought we could.
Moshiach Now!! We’re ready!
china virus
COVID forced everyone everywhere to acknowledge there are basic things we don’t know and can’t control, regardless of religion, skin color, gender, age, possessions, intelligence, fitness, connections and nationality.
Tichleh shanah and all the liberals let this year and Republicans begin
hashems love to us is not bound to us going to Minyan and mikva.
And even behind a mask
The year I felt what waiting for Moshiach and really believing in the geula means. Pesach gave us a taste of that unwavering faith. Moshiach didn’t reveal himself yet… but we pray he will very soon. We are ready… wishing everyone an incredible ‘new year’.
The year that we began to appreciate all the little things in life:)
Moshiach prep
Traffic way down. Air quality better. People increased their exercise time and took stock of their health. Many people quit taivas which were not helping them.
Unreal
Moshiach is at the threshold.
The Klipah of America is finally broken.
A year filled with MANY ups and downs!
A year that challenged our Emunah and Bitachon. If you’re reading this I wanna say I am proud of you! 2020 was one of the hardest years you’ll ever experience! Keep going! You’ve got this!
Who remembers when the Australian wildfires were a big thing lol
I believe in Hashem,
I trust in Hashem
there never is a moment when
that I am alone
and I’m on my own
I believe and I trust in Hashem!
