As we talked to earlier before this year was started, someone asked me if someone is a a soldier in the Israeli army and he dies, does he automatically go to heaven? And the answer is absolutely not. As sad as that sounds to some people, it's a reality. It proves that our Torah is real. Why? Because if that soldier was an atheist, if that soldier was an idol worshiper, and then he died because some Arab terrorist killed him, why would Hashem put in someone that didn't believe in him? In fact, someone that incited people to go against him in Gan Eden with Moshe Rabbeinu. Why would he go? Why? Because he killed Arabs? Because he killed the enemy? What if he just worked in the in the kitchen and he was peeling potatoes? He was a soldier. He was a soldier. You can't not You can't say [snorts] that the soldier that works in the kitchen peeling potatoes, making chamin, not as good as the one that we have at Beis Hamikdash, but he makes chamin. You cannot say that he's not a soldier. Why? Because the soldiers need food. Just like they need the bomber, they need the pilot, they need the guy that takes care of all the weapons. They need the guy that peels potatoes. And let's say, chas v'shalom, there's a terror attack, somebody goes into the kitchen and they kill. So what, he goes to heaven just because he peeled potatoes? The answer is no. He goes to heaven if he believed in Hashem. He goes to heaven if he followed the Torah. But if he was an atheist, if he was an idol worshiper, he doesn't go to heaven.
