It is the world wide Tefillos on behalf of our bretheren that saves the lives of intended victims.
Whats with the ‘alleged stabbing attack’ in the headline – it was an actual stabbing attack.
The “alleged” being added is a tactic all the antisemites use when they write the articles based on Israel, now we’re using it when this stuff happens to Jews in France too?
