What’s Next?

AFRAID

- If you are attacked by an anaconda…don’t run…. The snake is faster than you are.

- Lie flat on the ground. Put your arms tight against your sides and your legs tight against one another.

- Tuck in your chin

- The snake will come and begin to nudge and climb over your body…..Do not panic

- After the snake has examined you, it will begin to swallow you from the feet end—always the feet end. Permit the snake to swallow your feet and ankles…Do not panic!

- The snake will now begin to suck your legs into its body…. You must lie perfectly still…. This will take a long time.

- When the snake has reached your knees, slowly, and with as little movement as possible, reach down, take your knife and very gently slide it into the side of the snake’s mouth, between the edge of its mouth and your leg. Then suddenly rip upwards severing it’s head.

- Be sure to have your knife.

“Highs and lows. You surround me either way it goes. Should I rise or should I fall? Lord, You're with me through it all.”

When you’re afraid, what you REALLY BELIEVE about God is revealed.

Social Distancing doesn’t mean becoming Socially Distant:

"One of the brand new terms that has entered our daily conversation is ‘social distancing’. It is shorthand, as we know very well, for the practical physical precautions that we all need to and must take in order to protect ourselves and others. I’d humbly suggest though, that we use the term itself sparingly, if at all. Language is a powerful shaper of thinking. And the very last thing we need right now, is a mindset of ‘mutual distancing.’ We actually need to be thinking in the exact opposite way. Every hand that we don’t shake must become a phone call that we place. Every embrace that we avoid must become a verbal expression of warmth and concern. Every inch and every foot that we physically place between ourselves and another, must become a thought as to how we might be of help TO that other, should the need arise. It is obvious that ‘distancing’, if misplaced or misunderstood, will take its toll not only upon our community’s strength and resiliency, but upon the very integrity and meaning of our spiritual commitment. And who knows if it was for this time that we have committed ourselves to walk in God’s ways. Let’s stay safe. And let’s draw one another closer in a way that we’ve never done before.” - Rabbi Rav Yosef
