“Hashem sent a pestilence upon Yisrael from
morning until the set time; and 70,000 of the people died, from Dan to Be’er
Sheva. (Samuel 2 24:15)

Rabbi Shlomo Khaimov revealed in a video address that the
cure for coronavirus can be found in the book of kings.
The rabbi notes that during the time of King David, there
was also a plague whereby “everyday dozens and dozens of people were dying.”
“Hashem sent a pestilence
upon Yisrael from
morning until the set time; and 70,000 of the people died, from Dan to Be’er Sheva.
(Samuel 2 24:15)
Rabbi Khaimov explains that when David asked Hashem how
to end the plague, Hashem responded by imploring David to call on the men to
make “100 blessings a day”. According to the rabbi, the cure for the plague was
to recite 100 blessings and that’s why David made the decree.
This unexpected cure was further elaborated
on by founder & Director of AZAMRA Rabbi Avraham Ben Yaakov Greenbaum
saying:
“The word ‘ AL in the verse has the
numerical value of 100 (Ayin 70 + Lamed 30), corresponding to David’s
institution of the requirement to recite 100 blessings every day. (These
include all the daily morning blessings, the blessings over Psukey DeZimra and
over the morning and evening Shema, the thrice-repeated Shmonah Esray, the
blessings before and after eating, etc.) David instituted these blessings in
order to rectify the ignorance of the people of his generation about the Temple
that had to be built (Bamidbar Rabbah 18) – for the Temple is “built” out of
prayers and blessings. This ignorance was the root cause of the terrible plague
described in the next chapter. David’s whole concern was to prepare for the
Temple , and he merited being the “sweet singer of Israel ” (v 1): it was the
songs of David that were sung ever after in the Temple services.
Rabbi Khaimov then recalls many other viruses that caused
international panic such as anthrax, the swine flu and the zika virus.
Regarding the current coronavirus, the rabbi invoked the famous phrase from
Ecclesiastes:
“There is nothing new Beneath the sun!
(Ecclesiastes 1:9)
