Are you going a little meshugah? a little cabin crazy?
I was. Being there for people during this crazy time helps.
Plus, when we used to fly on a plane they would say "In the event of an emergency, please put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others."
You need to be sane and healthy in order to
- Serve Gd
- Serve your family
- Serve your friends
- Serve your community
One thing I can advise is start with self-care!
Self-care comes in many shapes and sizes. Here are a few suggestions.
Physical Self Care
- Go for a walk down the block - while maintaining social distancing
- Do some exercise in the house
- Drink water
- Get enough sleep
- Eat healthier
- Take care of your health!
Spiritual Self Care
- Pray - Learn How
- Study - Study Links
- Prepare for freedom - Passover is the holiday of freedom.
Prepare by watching these two short pre-Passover-prep videos (a third video will be released next week)

Kindness
- If your health allows - volunteer
- If your finances allow give charity - can be putting a few coins in a jar, or making a donation online
- If you have a phone - call (don't text) someone and check in on them
- Be positive - in your interactions on social media - think positive and exude kindness - more on that by my brother here
Have an amazing Shabbos and a happy and healthy Passover!
