1-Focus: Looking Up

A practical, forward-thinking approach to the current situation.

Pandemic. Lockdown. Riots.
Events are unfolding at a breakneck pace.

The Future is Full of Question Marks.

And there are no easy answers.

But here’s what we DO know…

We have the power to tap into an age-old method. One which has proven itself time and again to help us pull through circumstances beyond our control:

A commitment to publicly say Nishmas when the crisis passes.

How will this help?

The Kaf HaChaim says in the name of Reb Yehuda HaChossid that committing to publicly recite Nishmas when a crisis passes has been proven to trigger salvation. By making this commitment during the crisis, we acknowledge that the outcome is entirely in Hashem’s hands.


Rather than attributing the turn-around to social distancing, proper hygiene or scientific breakthroughs, we will publicly declare our thanks to Hashem. This commitment has the power to turn the situation around. 

If we combine this with actively observing Hashem’s involvement in our lives, we benefit from an extra level of menuchas hanefesh throughout this crisis –  and when facing difficulties in the future.

How it works:
