and my friends this has been C on clad schoo I want to share with you a thought I live in Muncie and there are a lot of Casillas jewels here and those customers jewels sometimes they have sedum Gavin and as they dive in they'll clamp and I'll be diving nice one ashtray a little quite Romana Estrin the guy behind me is going like this and I was thinking what what's the point of clapping in the middle of Davin II and I know I've seen to our farm that speak about clapping taking away this Citra accra of the dark forces but what exactly is that all about so I'll share with you that my wife and I both had Cova 19 and I had a much worse case and she did to the point that a seller was called to my home a few times one of the times I was on the floor I was having a hard time breathing and any time I would take a deep breath either I would feel like I'm choking or I couldn't get the oxygen in or I would just coffee I didn't breathe I couldn't get that air in and it was a horrible feeling even when I slept that after sleep sitting up to make sure that the passageway was clear so that I was able to breathe and after a few weeks when I started getting better one morning I woke up and I took a breath and I was able to feel my my lungs up with pure oxygen and I didn't cough and I didn't choke I felt so good Wow look at that oxygen filling up all the air sacs in my lungs and filling every nook and cranny and crevice of my being all that wonderful oxygen so much so that I went outside and the air outside is even cleaner there aren't that many cars on the road and I took a deep breath outside and Muncie a beautiful clean green fresh air and I felt so good and I was thinking before Cova 19 I used to breathe all the time we all did always took it for granted just like I take my eyesight for granted or my hearing or music or all the other bodily functions that were able to appreciate my sense of smell a lot of people lost their sense of smell during Cova 19 I could smell I could taste I have an appetite when I was sick I didn't have an appetite I lost ten pounds I'm able to eat food I'm able to enjoy the food and it feels so wonderful and why did I always take it for granted so I saw that there are cities like in Eretz Israel and other cities and other countries that have started this custom around 7:00 o'clock when the nurses and the doctors come out when they finish their shifts in the hospital and they're exiting to go to their cars to leave to go home that people go outside they go onto their balcony they go to their front porch and they clamp every day they clamp because these people are heroic they're putting their lives at risk they are working themselves to the bone they are watching people dead and dying try their best to go from one patient to the next even though there are no more beds left in the hospital they're in the waiting room they're in the halls they're speaking to relatives it's emotionally and physically taxing and draining and they deserve a round of applause that they have given us this gift of life they've given us of their own from themselves and then I realized why it is that you'll see them clamors you see I've always taken my grieving for granted and yet now that I breathe and I'm able to breathe freely and I could enjoy the air and enjoy how it feels in my lungs and enjoy what it does to my heart and my blood and my immune system I feel like clapping put my clapping floor I'm clapping for the one who gave me lungs in the first place I'm clamping for the one who is I kept a few female mafia Suren prepared even and no same liar I've caught maybe we just needed this to remind us that if we clamp for those who rightfully should be clapped for because of what they've given us maybe it should be a spontaneous the way that we clap when we Davin and we sing to Hashem and we appreciate all those things that now we appreciate even more so that we've taken for granted in the past it's spontaneous it's joyous and we say a Shem I will never again take you or your gifts for granted I wish everyone a great health roof wash Lima and let us come out of this Magatha out of this coronavirus friend and more appreciative people and a wonderful day
