uncle, passed away very suddenly on an erev Sukkos of a massive heart attack out of nowhere sitting over a table learning a safer. She passed away erev Yom Kippur. In both their cases, their family didn't get to sit a proper shiva. She was a tremendous beacon of emunah. A source of a lot of light and strength and faith. And she suffered for several years with her illness before passing away. But she continues to inspire me and my family, so our sheer is in her memory as well.

In fact, my whole Rosh Hashanah drasha was one of those emails, which I think you'll agree with me was an incredibly powerful email of the person who October 7th changed her entire perspective. From the challenge of her child with the bone illness to saying at least I know where my child is and I can hug them. And the whole perspective was a powerful email. So thank you to Please continue sending the emails whether I'm able to read them in the sheer or not. Let's start. Dear Rabbi Goldberg, it was last Motzei Shabbos when our 19-year-old son called to tell me he'd be going into Lebanon along with his pluga, with his unit. To describe the depth of emotions is impossible. I knew that I needed air and headed out for a walk by myself needing a big injection of emunah. I tuned into the latest episode of your podcast. It went straight to my heart and I came back stronger and ready to take this
