b'Unable to address his Kahal on Shabbas HaGadol as has been customary for Jews for over a millenia, Rabbi Duvie Weiss presented a powerful message via video conferencing to the dozens of shut-ins that make up Congregation Ohr Chodosh in Bergenfield New Jersey.Eschewing a typical pilpul in Hilchos Pesach,Rav Duvie inventively explains the role Chazal assigned to Puah/Miriam in providing life sustaining encouragement to the mother and child,this underscores the importance of balancing the medical skill of Shifra and the heart and intuition of Puah.This striving for improvement coupled with an optimistic outlook can hold us in stead beyond the horror of the Pandemic that we are enveloped in.One cannot help be moved by the pain the Rabbi and all of us are experiencing,and his call for strengthening our faith in God and beseeching our Creator to bring us out of this Magefah into a beautiful Messianic future.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
