Our hearts and minds are with the people of our Homeland Israel. May have asked what they can do? The feeling of helplessness can be overwhelming.
You are not helpless and situation is not hopeless! As much as we need military and front line strength with political diplomacy, it behooves us all to remember that Hashem protects the Jewish people and spiritual protection supports the rest of our efforts to be successful.
Do your part! Put on tefillin, light Shabbos candles, say a chapter tehillim and Hashem will surely deliver us salvation as He has countless of other times.
May Hashem protect our people physically and spiritually, and may we all return to Israel, as a completely reunited nation with the coming of Moshiach, now!
