Israel is on fire, our homeland is in flames and our hearts are burning with emotion and love for the Holy Land. We are thankful and pray that Hashem protect the people of Israel, the brave firefighters, and the countries that have sprung to action to assist Israel at our time of need.
At the Kinus lunch today, the Internation Conference of Chabad Lubavitch Emmisaries, Rabbi Yehuda Donin, the shliach to the city of Haifa lead the thousands of Shluchim in tehillim to ask Hashem to protect our people and our land.
Each year the conference is a meaningful time to connect and inspire ourselves and each other. Amazingly, although I have participated in many such gatherings, each year presents a new inspiring moment, creative idea, resolved charge that is unique and special for that year. I took a short live tour to get a glimpse into what the halls of the kinus feels like.
