We were privileged to hear a moving and very personal sicha from Rabbi Tzvi Klugerman, Principal of the Middle School at the Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy in Silver Spring, Maryland (and father of Sarit Klugerman, SFW ’11!)..Rabbi Klugerman spoke about dealing with personal churban. Unfortunately, he and his family are experts in dealing with adversity on a personal and theological level as they lost a child tragically four years ago. Through a unique look at the Gemara and the Midrash, Rabbi Klugerman told his family’s story of tragedy and despair along with some of the ways his family coped with these challenges. We thank him for sharing such inspirational and deeply personal words with us.
