Veyiten Lecha – Rebuilding from the Ashes – Benzion and Luzy Klatzko
A Jewish home is a place of love, light, and laughter. A place built on the cornerstone of Torah and Mitzvos. It is an opportunity to host guests for Shabbos and Yom Tov. It is a place where the Shechina dwells. The Klatzko home was such a home. And at the beginning of the Covid epidemic, when the world was shuttered in the safety of their homes, the Klatzko home burned down.
As the firemen came to put out the fire, with neighbors and spectators gawking at the scene, the Klatzkos and their friends made a circle on the driveway and began to sing “Tov Lehodos Lashem.” Because everything Hashem does is a bracha even when it is hard to see it. Yaakov Aveinu received this bracha from his father, Yitzchak Aveinu. Hashem has abundance in store for us, even when it seems that all is destroyed and lost. Thus the lyrics of Veyiten Lecha are appropriate. The bracha is sure to come, because this was the promise of the Avos. From the ashes, the Klatzko family hopes to rebuild and renew their home, once again filling it with Torah, mitzvos, and the hachnosas orchim that their house had become so well known for.

Lyrics:
ויתן־לך האלהים מטל השמים ומשמני הארץ ורב דגן ותירש
יעבדוך עמים וישתחוו לך לאמים הוה גביר לאחיך וישתחוו לך בני אמך
Translation:
May God give you heaven’s dew and earth’s richness— an abundance of grain and wine. May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you.
