[RabbiEliyahuCowen]

The peace of mind from the worries of this world trusting in Hashem brings is invaluable. All the money, strength and even wisdom in the world cannot compare to the peace of mind and tranquility of heart that putting your Trust in Hashem brings. The frenzy and constant worry of someone whos security comes from his wealth, can make him insane. However the feeling of calm, security, and being at peace in this world that putting yourself in Hashem hands brings, relaxes your soul and empowers you to truly care for another, share magnanimously, and be forever grateful.

Rabbi, you did speak clearly and forcefully against attending minyans at the time, against people playing mesiras nefesh with other people's lives, and I appreciated it then and now. For a while, the toll on our communities forced some (not all) of the people who misbehaved into silence, but I see these attitudes, tinged with anti-government conspiracies, coming back out again, and I see the whatsapp lynchmob of Cuomo's four words as part of that. Anyway, thank you for addressing the issue.
