Why I support Chabad of Solano County?
1. It is a place, it is people, it is events, it is a holy network that supports me in growing spiritually and helps me during crises of all sorts (medical, spiritual, plambing!!).
2. What comes to mind is a series of events and conversations over the past few weeks. I was asking you and Hashem, over and over, "What is going on? I have been hospitalized and in danger for my life three times in the past 15 months. What is going on? Then I find the Rebbe's Commentary in the Blue Chumash (p.232):
"Joseph's experience vividly demonstrates that whether or not we realize it, everything that happens to us is orchestrated by G-d for our benefit."
I'm sure I have heard this before, but now I recognized the answer to the questions I had been asking.
Chabad of Solano provides a place and people with whom I can have holy conversations, ask holy questions, find holy answers and grow in my spiritual understanding and in my ability to be of help and of service to others.
3. An additional answer to my questioning is a re-frame. The bottom line is that I am alive! Each time I was in danger, I received help from so many sources, and I survived and grew and had more to be grateful for.
