I have more covering other subjects, but most are w/o English subtitles. Thus most people won't understand them. Plus w/o the context of the way Hebrew is spoken, there is always something lost in the translations.

I asked my senior Rabbi and senior Cantor if a mezuzah wards off Covid. They say it does not.

I have 18 mezuzahs on the door posts of my house (every door that halachically requires one), and I have Covid right now. But I consider it a tremendous rachmanis (kindness) from HaShem that I and my entire family have it. Baruch HaShem, we all have a mild case, and once this resolves, we’ll be able to return to a fairly normal routine.

So I wouldn’t say the mezuzahs protected me from Covid. Rather, they are a statement of faith and observance that helped me get it, and for the greater good.

HaShem gave it to me because He loves me. He controls every aspect of everything that happens in the world. When I knew I had Covid, I said “Baruch HaShem.” ( no matter the outcome)

I hope you and your family all recover quickly and easily with no aftereffects.

Thanks all. Im on day 9 right now and mostly back to normal.

I took from this a message I keep seeing over and over again - that we’re not in control, HaShem is. Any worry is just a lack of emuna (faith that HaShem makes all the calculations of what’s gonna be).
