"There is nowhere to be but right here”

How can we come to chodesh adar and feel simchah at a time of such anxiety, panic, and fear?

“There is joy in community, joy in family, joy in activity, and also joy in silence. One of the sweetest moments of the week is early Shabbos morning. The streets are quiet. The house is quiet. Downstairs, alone, with a hot cup of coffee and a sefer. There is nowhere to be but right here.”

—Strategic advisor and motivational speaker Charlie Harary
