Dear G-d,
What could I write to You that You don’t already know and see? How can I be so brazen as to think I can tell You something new? I cannot. What I can do is thank you and acknowledge what I have been blessed to be a part of.
Last month was my son Eli Chaim‘s Bar Mitzvah. We had many celebrations in many different locations and with many different people.
I have never witnessed more kindness, love, joy, unity and faith as this past week. Some by friends, some by family, and some by strangers who are now friends and family – all by your children.
For whatever reason, You have chosen my husband (Rabbi Yitzi Hurwitz) and our family to be a magnet to bring people together. I can understand a small part of it.
My husband has always been the happiest person I know, and that hasn’t changed one bit. His joy and faith and love for all people has inspired many people and continues to do so. Our children, thanks to You, are remarkable. They are strong and trust in You that You will take care of all of us.
We feel a closeness to You that we have never felt before, and we are grateful that You let us know it in little messages that You are listening and watching over us. It is comforting knowing You are with us.
Thousands of people have taken upon themselves to say extra prayers or do extra Mitzvos. The world is changing for the better. There is so much goodness and beauty all around. If I can see it from my little corner, I cannot begin to imagine what it must look like to You.
What I really want to thank You for is last week Sunday. As we sat in a beautiful winery celebrating our son reaching the age of being a responsible Jewish person, I saw a sea of beauty. The Rebbe’s Army surrounding us, guarding us and giving us strength and love. I felt as if I am experiencing a taste of Moshiach. The brotherhood, love, joy, faith and hope was touchable.
How blessed we are that you have showered your kindness and miracles on us. I just have one question. What else are you waiting for if not this?
Your humble servant,
A Shlucha of the Rebbe,
Dina Hurwitz

Dina your words are so true and meaningful. I read it on your blog thecaffeinatedthinker.blogspot.com I was so touched being that I know you so well and I am moved seeing how you’ve been so strong, caring and loving.
Last May, my husband and I spend Shabbos in Temesula to celebrate our great-nephews Bar-Mitzvah. Rabbi Hurwitz and his family opened their doors and heart to us and made that Shabbos so very special. To see what Rabbi Hurwitz and his lovely wife have accomplished in such a town can only proof that they are accomplaishing the Rebbe’s vision. My nephew and his wife have come closer to yiddishkeit thanks to them! You are constantly in our prayers. Refuah Shlema!

My spouse was very sick for a long time and good support makes all the difference.Often ppl r there for u for some time then move on.Its not OK!Continue to be there for them.Invite them and their kids over,make meals and do everything U can to make life a little easier.Take the kids out.. Don’t just “think”of them-it doesn’t help!!!!Pick up the phone and do something helpful!
We love you Dina and Yitzy —
Refuah Shelaimah. Our hearts and Tefilos are all with you!
You write beautifully. Let the true Editor make a few changes in the script and delete the part of ALS and change it to “A Life Saved”. Only good news now and in the future.
Refua Shleima to Yitzi and continue your wonderful work.
