Yashar Koch to everyone who learned 'together' on Shavuos. Though we didn't learn under the same roof, we did learn together.

We did hear from you - here is a letter.
Shalom Rabbi Cohen, I listen to your words of chizuk on my phone laying in the cool early morning air on my mirpeset with birds cooing and chirping all around me. It is my refreshing way to start a day in silence, while the earth is still dreaming, when even tfilot don't bring enough solace. Your shiurim bring back memories through the sound of your voice of a world that no longer exists for me. I loved life. I loved being with people who had something valuable to say from whom I could learn. Rav Schwartz never disappointed. I loved the generosity of so many. The camaraderie of so many others that only a house of spirit can provide. You turned the shul from a house of worship into a house of spirit in which souls are exposed and reclaimed.
The shul was the center of my universe. I wasn't always so pleasant dragging my baggage with me into the sanctuary and for that, I apologize. The shul is a sanctuary. It has its own smells, feels, textures, hiding places, rooms that envelope and hug the distraught mind and body. But like the Rashi you quote, we need to become people of one heart.
l loved the Monday night shir, later Tuesday night, shirum. They were my refuge from a long day of work filled with stress, sometimes pleasant but later unpleasant experiences. Shir was a refuge, as kids say today, a safe space.
Anyway, keep up the chizuk. And best wishes for a speedy and complete reopening of the sanctuary for the loving, for taking many hearts and melding them into one. And the for the broadcasts.
