The known Posek HaGaon HaRav Yitzchak Mordechai HaCohen Rubin, the Rav of Kehillas Bnei Torah in Har Nof wrote a special letter in light of the delicate security situation and the fear of another war front in the north, Kikar H’Shabbat reported.
In the letter entitled: “לכו ונשובה אל ה’ כי הוא טרף וירפאנו יך ויחבשנו,” HaRav Rubin wrote: “It’s written in Hoshea ‘לכו ונשובה אל ה כי הוא טרף וירפאנו.’ And the mefarshim explain that the enemy doesn’t gain power through its own strength but everything is from Hashem Yisbarach and only He has the power to bring a cure.”
“It is years and years that Am Yisrael has been surrounded on all sides by Bnei Yishmael who plot to destroy Yisrael and wipe them off the face of the earth. And anyone who has a little understanding realizes what our end would be if it wasn’t for Hashem Eloekinu helping us.”
“And in recent months, to our dismay, we’ve seen the unbridled outbreak of the Yishmaelim. And what happened in the south could chas v’chalilah happen in the north, but according to security officials, the situation in the north could chas v’chalilah be far worse and far more catastrophic.
“In the last few weeks, and especially in the last few days, the government has been covertly preparing for an extremely different period, Hashem Yeracheim, and they have already contacted families with patients who are connected to generators [to prepare for an extended period without electricity], and in general, they are preparing in every possible way to prepare for an emergency scenario.”
“And here in every generation, the word of Hashem is given to the leaders of the generation, and they are the messengers of the King of the World to transmit His word to the people. Last week, HaGaon HaRav Landau held an emergency meeting in his home to request that everyone gather in every location for tefillos since we are in real danger, rachmanah latzlan.”
“Therefore, now that we feel more and more strongly that this is an Eis Tzarah L’Yaakov – what can we do more than seize the craft of our forefathers, to tear the gates of Shamayim with tefillos and pleas. But we need several basic preparations.
1. To understand that we’re in terrible danger. 2. To believe that everything is from Hashem Yisbarach 3. To believe that Hashem can change everything to the good, b’ezras Hashem, via the koach of our tefillos and the improvement of our ways.”
“Tefillos that come from the depths of the heart have the power to tear the gates of Shamayim, especially with tears, and therefore it would be beneficial if each one of us would set certain times for himself during the day to pour out his heart and supplications, and a little bit with kavanah is better than a lot without kavanah. It’s especially good if a person davens together with the members of his household and it’s preferable to daven b’rabim [and all this is in addition to the mizmorim that are said at the end of tefillah.]
“ובזכות תפילות היחידים והרבים ישמע ה’ את שוועתנו ויאמר לצרותינו די ויחיש פדיון נפשנו מיד כל שונא וישלח תשועה לכל אחינו בית ישראל הנתונים בצרה ובשביה במהרה דידן”.
Kikar H’Shabbat added that the building of the Kehillas Bnei Torah shul has an underground hall that is connected to a generator and the Home Front Command has requested to use it in case of emergency.

Of course he can’t write in his letter, so as not to anger the “government” there, that this danger and the rest of the mess is all because of the Zionists and their invasion a century ago and the Zionist shmad before then and ever since then.
It pains me to write this as I sit on the floor in ashes and wripped clothing mourning and crying for klal yisroel and begging Hashem to forgive klal yisroel and deem them worthy for the coming of Mashiach already bkarov as I just finish crying out tikun chatzos on behalf of all of klal yisroel and
as the actual message below actually comes DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM
How many tragedy wake up calls has Hashem-our loving father king of kings ruler of the world- sent us just in the last few years alone since the horrific coronavirus Mageifa pandemic hit the entire world that not even one single country was safe from and said we’re secure Inside our country now let’s run our lives like normal again but actually the entire world shul down like the mabul. To many other horrific tragedies hitting klal yisroel also from the current Israel-Hamas war to many more tzaddikim leaving us in a short time with no accident and we all know the two famous lines of ” there’s no such a thing as coincidence” and the famous Jewish line of “Ain poranius baolam Ela bishvil yisroel” which means any tragedy that Rachmana litzlan hits the world-even if no yidden are involved like the earthquake in Turkey and Syria that Israel felt the shake and tremor but Boruch Hashem no one was hurt-is all on account of klal yisroel and a message to us for serious Teshuva and Achdus together ASAP like we all did in the story of Purim and then Hashem can send Mashiach already bkarov.
Let’s hope we finally all wake up from living in DENIAL and FACE REALITY and accept Hashems wake up call for serious Teshuva and Achdus together as one loving nation so Hashem can send Mashiach already bkarov and all tragedies hitting the world can come to a complete stop
@Sam Klein:
I can’t tell if you are being cynical or braggadocios.
Either way, it’s not a good look.
@fakenews:
Well, he DID write it after 2am…..
