I Will Not Leave You
At the end of his life Rav Chaim told his talmidim that he would continue to stand before Hashem in prayer for them.
On the last day of his life, after speaking to his devoted talmidim about the service of Hashem and the fear of Heaven, Rav Chaim told them that he would continue to stand before the Holy One in prayer. He would not abandon them in death, he said, any more than he had abandoned them in life. Out of this assurance grew the practice of invoking him by name when the yahrzeit comes. For him, the relationship of a rav and his talmidim was not something that ended with the grave. A teacher who has spent a lifetime carrying his students in his heart continues to carry them, and a student who has been carried is meant to carry others in turn.

Think of the people who look to you: children, students, an aging parent, a friend in a hard season. This week, give one of them your steady attention in a way they can feel. Call at a regular time, learn with them, or simply listen without looking at your phone. Rav Chaim promised that his care would not stop at the end of his life, and you can show a small version of that loyalty by being someone who does not disappear when things are hard.
