I went to a class this morning. It was fantastic! It lasted
five hours. The rav spoke about fear, about different people
in the Chumash, looking at the lives of the Ovos and
what we can learn from them. One woman, from Australia, was
scared because of the bombing at 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. I
told her that I've lived in Safed nearly two decades and
there's never been anything in Safed! Nothing at all!
And that Safed is the safest place in the world.
