There's a Starbucks in the airport and Havdalah can also be made on coffee."I smiled.Fourteen members of my kehillah were milling about next to the shop entrance.

Behold, Hashem is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid."The words seemed to take on new meaning against the backdrop of a virus that was claiming lives and changing the world at an alarming pace.The coronavirus has changed the face of reality for billions around the globe.
