We write to you today with a heavy heart as we share the news that our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel are under attack. In the past hours, hundreds of rockets have been fired into Israel by the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon, endangering countless lives and sowing fear throughout the country.
In these perilous times, as Acheinu Bnei Yisroel face these challenges, we must unite in fervent tefillos. The power of our prayers has the ability to shield and protect, to bring down the rachamim from Shamayim that our brothers and sisters so desperately need. We urge everyone to take a moment and offer special tefillos for the safety and security of our brethren in Eretz Yisroel.
Whether it’s reciting Tehillim, adding extra kavanah during Shemoneh Esrei, taking on additional limud haTorah, or giving tzedakah, we can all do something to make a difference as a zechus for the am hayosheiv b’Tziyon.
May Hashem watch over all of Klal Yisroel and bring peace and protection to Yidden in Eretz Yisroel and across the world.
