I saw this in an article:
Nearly 2 million people worldwide have died of covid-19, the new coronavirus that emerged in China at the end of 2019. Among them were countless Jews, including thousands of Israelis, large numbers of aging Holocaust survivors, and rabbinic leaders around the world. The disease felled prominent people, such as the Novominsker rebbe, Yaakov Perlow, and Fountains of Wayne songwriter Adam Schlesinger, who was just 52 when he died on April 1.No offense to Mr. Shlesinger. But to mention him in the same breath as the Gaon and Tzadik, the Novominsker Rebbe ztz"l, one has to be living in a very thick darkness.
