Intensive Preparation for the Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan World Prayer Day

Uppermost is the impending threat of army mobilization of yeshiva students, calculated to forcibly eject them from their places of Torah. Also on the prayer agenda is a plea that Heaven halt rampaging disease in our midst and the danger of our enemies from without.

There was once a couple that shared such deep emotional ties, that others would use them as an example when wanting to describe an extremely intimate relationship. One day, much to their dismay, the ruling authorities assigned the husband to work in a distant land, forcing him to be separated from his beloved. Their only consolation was that once a week they would have the opportunity to be reunited.
