The Pesach seder is just hours away, and Israelis are drawing a fascinating parallel between this year and the very first seder. Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu announced Monday night that citizens would not be able to leave their homes on Leil HaSeder, and that streets would be patrolled to ensure that this would be enforced.

As families sit in their home and recall the Bnei Yisroel in Mitzrayim, unable to leave their homes as the Mashchis moved throughout the land outside, the Haggadah will now be more relatable than ever.

For most, the restrictions mean stocking up on groceries and other essentials, and spending valuable time with spouses and children. For many, however, the increasingly strict rules are a threat to their very existence.

Many in Israel were shocked yesterday to hear of the untimely passing of Reb Bentzion Kuperstock, famed baal chesed and father of 11.
 
Kuperstock was perhaps most famous for his role as the “Abba of Meron.” During the celebrations for Lag BaOmer in Meron which are attended by thousands each year, Reb Bentzion happily distributed free food to strangers. He was also the head of a Beis Yaakov seminary. Rabbi Kuperstock’s life was claimed by COVID-19 on Saturday night.
 
Shortly before his death, he had already begun preparations for the upcoming Lag BaOmer holiday, in case of the unlikely possibility that Jews would once again be able to pray at the kever of the Rashbi.
 

RUSH ON SBA-PPP LOANS MAY DIMINISH FUNDING
The Small Business Administration (SBA) is now offering “FORGIVABLE” Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans to help businesses impacted because of the COVID-19. Thousands of loan applications are pouring into the SBA from banks all over the country, and SBA-PPP loans are starting to get approved.
The biggest risk appears to be that the SBA will run out of the $350bb in funding — so the clock is ticking and time is of the essence.

No matter who you are or where in the world you live, one thing is clear: This year’s Pesach is unique.
In typical years, Jews from around the world fly in to Israel to spend the holiday in the Holy Land. Conversely, young Anglos living in Israel fly home in droves to spend the holiday with family. Now thanks to the deadly virus COVID-19, the airports are closed, and so are all non-essential businesses. What was once the most traditionally social gathering of the year, the Pesach seder, is now a quiet affair. Many will be ‘making Pesach’ for the first time, and are busily preparing.

A letter from Rav Chaim Kanievsky & the Vizhnitzer Rebbe has circulated around the globe this week, for obvious reasons:

The economy is essentially on hold as the coronavirus ravages the earth. All non-essential businesses have been closed in Israel, and individuals are forbidden from walking the streets without intent to purchase food or medicine. The precautions are meant to save lives, but some are worried that other lives will be lost due to the resulting poverty. It is estimated that nearly a fifth of Israels are now unemployed.
