Hashem yishmor.
Someone think of something to do
This is a magaifa.
See the Mishna in taanis.
We need to start fasting.
Where are the ones that are the Pinchas of our community.
Yes we need the new youngerliet to become proactive. As yidden we are reactive. Now is the time ever body needs to roll up their sleeves.
We will give our Rebbe nachas and all have Besuros Tovos.
MOSHIACH NOW NOW!
