Yesterday, many people tuned in to watch the Hatzalah-Thon and were treated to emotional songs, wonderfully talented singers, exceptional speakers and watching the beginning of writing a new Sefer Torah. Someone left a comment about a person who is left handed whether they can write a letter. I found an interesting article and anecdote regarding writing a letter in the Sefer Torah over here

Eidim Zoomemim

My husband and I were taking a walk this morning when we bumped into another couple, Mr. and Mrs. B. (didn't literally bump into them - we did observe social distancing) Anyway, we started talking and the conversation gravitated towards the topic of weddings being celebrated (or not) during these times.
Mrs. B. told us about a couple who were set to get married next month, but the groom is stuck in Australia while the bride lives in Israel.
I said, "No problem, let them get married via Zoom."
 Mr. B. immediately quipped, "And they can have eidim Zoomemim as witnesses."
