The Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of America has issued the belwo statement designating tomorrow, Ta’anis Esther, as a Yom Tefila for the hostages, with special focus on bnei yeshiva in Eretz Yisroel. Similar statements have been issued by the Moatzos Gedolei HaTorah of Agudas Yisroel and of Degel HaTorah in Eretz Yisroel.
Agudas Yisroel also took the opportunity to request special tefilos on behalf of Shmuel ben Ita Etil, Rosh Yeshivas Philadelphia, Chaver Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, Horav Shmuel Kamenetsky shlita. The Rosh Hayeshiva’s condition has improved, but he still needs our tefilos.

Is this legit? There are some glaring typos, and it is missing the usual font and letterhead. It wasnt either posted on the Aguda website!
The famous Gemara story when the pig was sent over the wall instead of the karbon and the money they have to the enemy for, and the person that said that when they do Torah you won’t have them, makes me angry when the gedolim say the army is only to shmad and that is it nothing to do with “protecting the Jewish people” and people start a kumzits , but what hurts more is the truth that Torah Jews help the medina hatameh survive a country that without God belief is worse then sedom, we should pray that our Torah and mitzvos won’t be a part of the evils that the country is rather then say we are crumb cake again, have to teach how to pray about this issue, the story in medrash eliyahu hanavi didn’t come cause something bad happened and if the heart of that tana was correct that then it would not happen, this is a lesson about how Gods world exist all the Torah and Gemara is about the existence of God as the world the existence of the world from true Torah can’t come bad that is the support of a country that like the navi says “till when are you on two threshold” that reshaim exist as help to the Torah world even to family and children, this country that sent millions of pure neshomos to the literal dark in minutes, is now on par with the nature, people that the only lust of life was torah and holiness and faith in God are now teased into this zionist community as everybody is there the end, and everybody is nothing in the end, no real zechus, the tears of moshiach
> Yom Tefila for the hostages, with special focus on bnei yeshiva
it is not the first time that these letters put together shevuyim and charedim – both bnei and distant relatives of Torah – refusing to go to the army. Is this to channel compassion in their direction or they feel it be too obviously cruel to only talk about yeshivos?
It got to the point that I am not sure I can fast tomorrow as it will be creating a moris ayn that I am joining in this.
It’s a gezaras shmad against torah in the holy land! This needs to be fought with all means at our disposal! Daven that גזירות קשות be בטל!
If Iran or Egypt would take over Israel, these boys would also have to serve in their army.
