Less than 24 hours after putting my mother in the ground on Friday, I delivered my first Torah commentary at my messianic shul. It seemed odd, but not uncommon, timing.
Not uncommon because a friend of mine, Shi’mon, had the same thing happen to him the week before he delivered his first Torah commentary. In his case, it was not his mom; but just having a death close to you before such an event is enough of a common bond to help me feel not along in this.
My heart was going probably over 100 bpm, but apparently I came across well, as someone asked me afterward how I managed to be so calm up front. That was an encouragement to hear!
