Today is April 7, and it seems that some people still believe what they see and hear on social media. These people don’t pick up books and read or even try to get their news from reliable sources. I will not give a sermon or lecture, but I want to share a famous quote by the late Elie Wiesel: “No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior.” Can you imagine if this was shared by all the nations in the world?

The Megillah reading is one of my favourite programs, and I couldn’t attend this year because of my eye surgery. I missed the residents’ happy smiles, the two rabbis, and their wonderful families. The Toronto Marathon will also be finished by the time you get your bulletin. I want to thank all the members for participating in these worthwhile CVS programs.

On April 9, we voted on the 2024 Allocations budget, and funds were distributed to various charities and causes. We help everyone here in Canada and all over the world, regardless of their religion or ethnicity. Tikum Olam means repairing the world, and that’s just what we have been doing for years and years, as our Lodge members were always ready and willing to repair the world. We will always be there for those who need us.

On a happier note, I am on a marathon to hear one new song/artist for the month of April, and it’s going really great. Who knew that Israel has so many singers and musicians? So go for a walk or sit in your backyard and discover new artists and music.

Happy listening,

Ruth
