What's The Role Of A Jew During This War? | Rabbi Aaron Pessin

is raging between two great nations but how does that impact on us what is our role during this war so many of our brothers and sisters have turned to refugees homeless and many of them are found in real danger for their lives and we have to pray for them said a startling idea literally translated don't stand on your friend's blood but our sages explain if you see your friend drowning you have to jump into the water pull him out save his life sir if you see your friend in danger and you don't dampen for him you don't pray for him you should worry that perhaps you transgressed a branch of this prohibition lo ta'amu dal dam don't stand on your friend's blood because maybe what was needed up there is your prayer and that would would have saved his life so one potentially can be charged with his prince death if it didn't happen for him attracted given page 63 hey our sages say any tragedy any calamity that you see in the world comes for us for claudius because hashem doesn't speak to the other nations in a language they can't understand he speaks to us claudius saw it in a language that we can't understand and the pursuit says hashem the voice of hashem sounds some sounds sometimes through fire the fire of war is how hashem is calling us and asks do some introspection change better yourselves come close to me says hashem i want you close the pursuit of him says [Music] says tragedy far away nothing to do with us and we don't listen so it can come closer to us and the knocking turns into a very very serious and loud knocking and the run continues and says if one hears this sound he hears the voice we have to hear the voice sound of hashem and he doesn't change it's as if a person is transgressing sin and two witnesses come and they warn him don't do this and he ignores them hashem is speaking to us and we ignore him it's as if we're ignoring two witnesses that have come to tell us stop stop what you're doing change the results can be harsh if you ignore two witnesses so many wonder how will this war end who will end it the invader the u.n maybe other nations who will finally come together and get involved in the war every morning in charlotte master of wars only hashem can decide who will decide where how by whom will this war end when we see two nations fight each other we have to dive and wait to pray for our brothers and sisters we have to pray that this war will be over so many of them are suffering and we also don't know how this war can evolve where it will reach and therefore we must pray but there's one positive thing that we can say [Music] if you see nations fighting each other anticipate the coming of mashiach so we will we daven we pray we yearn we believe we anticipate we're coming on speedily in our days [Music] you
