What could us in america do to help the situation in israel? Its so hard to hear all these attacks and feeling helpless. i know we could pray but what else could we do?
Teshuva, Tefila & Tzedakah.
Every prayer, teshuva and chesed helps to protect and save
speaking of which, Rabbi Wallerstein mentions that we should understand that when Moshiach comes, people are going to decide to do teshuva but it’s too late, and so we need to work on ourselves now whatever we need to do.
Aliyah
Let’s try this again:

There’s nothing greater than prayer, repentance and charity. If you “only” stick to doing those three things you’re doing far more than your fair share and are accomplishing much more than most.
just to drill down on joseph’s great list, perhaps you can incorporate the situation in eretz yisrael into your tefillah, and tzedakah. for example, you can say an extra kapitel (or two) and explicitly dedicate your learning l’sheim the victims, soldiers, etc. or you can give some extra tzedakah to organizations in eretz yisrael that provide medical care to victims of terror attacks (like zakah) and the like. for teshuvah, you can work on the middah of nosei b’ol im chaveiro, and try to connect more to the pain of jews in eretz yisrael right now. hatzlacha.

I carry an aluminum baseball bat with me.
time for all of us to confess & admit to Hashem that we get his wake-up call for his loving nation to do teshuva like Nineveh with fasting.
problem in todays generation: your living in a time where EVERYONE thinks they’re way is the right way & they are perfect so there’s no teshuva for me to do. INSANE!!!! do you think all this non-stop tzaros is just happening coincidence?
the choice is YOURS when YOU want this tzaros to end, send Hashem a straight message by doing international teshuva of achdus & removing sinas chinam from your system(not personal yom kippur teshuva)
the sinas chinam (baseless hatred) in klal yisroel today is worse then when the 2nd bais hamikdosh was destroyed because of it so how can we expect it to be rebuilt if its even worse now?
Take on something and Pray.
In every generation people believe that their own way is the only right way. Human nature hasn’t really changed.
