Maran HaGaon HaRav Ovadia Yosef Shlita addressed the High Court decision declaring the Tal Law illegal last week in his motzei Shabbos drasha on the eve of 3 Adar 5772. The rav stated “Hashem will wage the war… (ה’ ילחם לכם ואתם תחרישון).
The rav stated there is no other nation comparable to Am Yisrael, the thousands upon thousands engaged in Torah study, from all age groups, which he explained brings tremendous joy to HaKadosh Baruch Hu.
The rav addressed avreichim and yeshiva students, explaining “you do not have to attack” regarding the nullification of the Tal Law – Hashem will fight on our behalf.
The rav also address mounting tensions regarding Iran’s determination to achieve nuclear independence, citing the posuk (בכל דור ודור עומדים עלינו לכלותינו, והקדוש ברוך הוא מצילנו מידם) In every generation they rise up to destroy us… Rav Ovadia spoke of the Haman of each generation, and there are gilguls of Haman. He added that we only have Hashem to rely upon… (אין לנו על מי להישען אלא על אבינו שבשמיים, אל יעזבנו ואל יטשנו).
The rav instructed those in attendance to simply continue adhering to Torah and Mitzvos and rely on Hashem.

and since the zionists seem to be stumbling into a war of a different sort with the Iranians, we should worry about whether the Israelis can count on a miracle to save them
In 1967 the Egyptians officers were caught sleeping. In 1973 the Arabs couldn’t believe their good fortune and passed up a chance to recapture Sinai and Golan. The Soviet threat disappeared due to the Soviets own incompetence.
The Yishuv has survived in the zechus of the Bnei Torah who give up their parnassah to learn Torah. Compared to that, what good is another rifleman?
The Yeshiva Chachmei Liblun and all other Yeshivos of Torah Giants, and the Litvishe and Chasidishe Geoinim (Torah Giants), in the 1930’s.
They literally controlled the happenings of the whole world.
#1, being that there is so much Torah going on in EY.. Hash-m will for sure save us..
It also says one who comes to kill you go kill him first
They said the same thing in gush katif and they got manhandled
BECAUSE THEY DID NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
WOW
The torah being learnt now , and the so call Geonim of the 30s is a guarantee???
i guess the likes of Rabbi Akiva , Rashbi and the other Tanoim during the churban pale compared to the fellows of the 30s and now
is it because they did not have shtreimels or black hats????
What will save us is ahavas yisroel
#5 is right. However this article is quoting Rav Ovadiah Yosef. I hope the Rav is right. I love Rav Ovadiah Yosef!
If we are heading into gog and magog, Yeshayahu in the end of chapter 3 is pretty clear, that it aint going to be pretty.
My friend has told me however, that according to the Vilna Gaon, before the north is destroyed, Mashiach will tell people when to flee south. Those that listen, will live, those that dont….
Every person serving in the army right now, is in danger. If this is gog and magog coming, they must ignore orders to engage, and must flee. Read Yeshayahu chapter 3. I have been tellig people not to join. Are they following the news? What do you want in the army anyways even if we arent running full speed into armageddon?
If WWII wasn’t Gog and Mogog then I don’t know what is…
