We are worried


Pictured: Sonya Terenteva lighting candles with the Shabbos candlesticks my class made in Sunday school.

The shluchim in Vladivostok were kicked out of Russia for 5 years. They had spent the last 3 years moving in and trying to secure permanent residency, and in one moment of wackiness, it's over.

Now we are all worried. The threat lies on most of the Shluchim out there, and our options are very limited. I won't write details here, but it looks like there's no solution. No matter what visa we are on, if they have concise proof that you're working there as the community Rabbi, you are in bad shape.

As Rabbi lazar said, we can only do our work and say Tehillim. Everything ultimately is in the hands of G-d.

I wish there was a solution.
