  1. Editor: You should post the Drasha of the Chasam Sofer for ‘Ches Tammuz’(the exact same day the operation started!) where he speaks about rockets (bombs) falling on Pressburg and the purpose of such an event to awaken feelings of teshuva. He speaks about teshuva in three areas in particular that have to do with rockets
    1)Tznius- not dressing to attract
    attention
    2)Lashon Hara
    3)Shaving with a razor
