Today our hearts are pounding in fear. Who of us will die? And who will return safely?
We are your messengers in fighting . We are fighting so you can live peacefully with your children. So you can stay alive. We are your protection. Will you be ours? We are going to this dangerous mission knowing some of us will not come back, but will rise to their next position in a storm to heaven, as Eliyahu the Navi did.
We are going with devotion and dedication. We are asking you to be our protection with your prayers. Protect us by going above and beyond yourselves through Ruchniyus and good deeds. Pray for us. Pray that you won’t see another mother burying her son. Pray that you won’t see our wives as widows raise our children in tears. Pray that our children will grow up knowing who their fathers are. Pray that we will eliminate the terrorists who aim to destroy us, and that we will not injure innocent women and children.
Please, we are begging you, as you are reading this, don’t just go on to the next thing you are doing. Say a chapter of Tehillim. Wake up David HaMelech to ask Hashem for full Geulah and peace for the all world. Take upon yourselves another good deed. And please pass this on. I’m certain that your prayer will make a difference. Remember, we are in it together. We are on the front lines carrying the weapons and you are fighting along with us in your prayers. Each word of your prayer gives us strength, protection and success!!!!!!

Our tefillos are with you. We think of you whenever we sit down to learn, do a chesed or keep our mouths shut when we’re tempted to say the wrong things. It’s the least we can do to show our support and our endless gratitude for the unimaginable sacrifices you make for us.
May Hashem watch over you and your fellow chayalim, and bring you all back home to your families safely.
We have 3 children, 2 of whom are married, learning in Yeshivos in Israel. We appreciate the mesirus nefesh of our soldiers and try to empathize wiht what they’re going through. But Chaza’l tell us that the most difficult situation is when one is faced with combat. Nobody can imagine the fear experienced in this situation. We daven that HaShem protect you all and that you return home alive and well with success.
