The Kedusha of Eretz Yisrael and the October 7th Anniversary #Shorts

As the anniversary of October 7th approaches, it behooves us to collect our thoughts. What does this day mean for us? What did we learn from it? What do we continue to learn from it? First and foremost, our heart goes out to the victims, to those who perished, to those who are still held hostage. We can't divert our attention from them. We can't stop even for a moment trying to feel their pain and the pain of their families. There's someone in my that has a list of all the hostages that perished or that still need to be released and he holds it in front of him every day when he davins and when he says kadesh he doesn't allow his mind to divert from trying to think about them and feel their pain to some extent and that is a very worthy practice to do whatever we can to try a little bit to feel their pain and to commiserate. Secondly, we can never forget Israel is like no other land. If on the day one of the holiest days of the year, a day which is designated for rejoicing with the greatest gift that the God ever gave to the world that Hashem ever gave to the Jewish people, the gift of the Tyra, it is a day designated to rejoice with Hashem in the Tyra. If init on this great day, instead of rejoicing with the Tory, it is utilized to rejoice in a way which is foreign to the Torah approach. It is not something that Israel tolerates. And in a sense, it should give us that the kaduca of Israel and the kaduca demanded of the Jewish people is no less today than it ever was. And this is not something that Israel tolerates. And we saw with our own eyes what happens even in a generation of the mashika.
