good morning from Jerusalem Israel I'm
here to share with you about the
powerful mission that I'm taking right
now with over 30 kabad rabbis from all
over the world we have rabbis from all
over the United States from Canada from
Australia that came to Israel to show
support we've been here for two days we
learned a lot there's a lot more to
learn a lot more to see but I would like
to give you an update of what's going on
here in Israel first of all we learned
and we' seen seen the terrible
atrocities that evil have per
perpetrated against the Jewish people
and don't be mistaken people from all
over the world they've killed and
massacred in the most inhumane way over
1,400 people that we know about we went
yesterday to a city where the city was
full with blood just dripping over all
over the streets we met a family
yesterday the father is successful
businessman when with his friends to the
beach they went ahead and they killed
him for no reason not only they kill him
after they killed him they threw a
grenade in his face so they wouldn't
they wouldn't be able to identify who he
was it took two weeks to identify him
the atrocities that were taking place
here is beyond
belief the over 200 people they took in
hostages and the way they're treating
them I'll show you a video afterwards
beyond anything
human the the can
comprehend so unfortunately evil has
taken a strong position against human
people civilized
people we are here and we're meeting
families that are sitting shiva they
just bury the dead and they're sitting
mourning we went to a place 20 30
families sitting shiva why because evil
people murdered innocent adult male
female
children a mother sitting Shing for her
for her son little children sitting
Shing for their
father beyond anything we can comprehend
so we visited many many families and wa
watching their their pain is beyond
belief we went to the hospital to visit
wounded individuals civilians soldiers
police that were all wounded in this
terrible
War we went to the cities on the
border ashalon stay Road there to name a
few that are constantly being bombarded
till today with missiles and to watch
the way missiles hit
buildings hit people killed
people stot for example there's no
there's no grocery stores open no
Pharmacy the local kabat house became
the new Pharmacy and groc grocery store
and restaurants all for free helping
people all the families that were
displaced I'm saying in a hotel here in
Jerusalem the half the hotel is families
that have nowhere to live and they're in
the hotel why because their houses were
destroyed by terrorists the the the the
destruction of evil over civilized
people is beyond
comprehension but on the other hand the
power
the positivity the resilience that the
Israeli people have is beyond belief we
went to a house of mourning and we told
them we're here to comfort the mourners
and the fellow that was sitting shiva
says my dear friend we don't need to be
comforted we are strong you need to be
strong you need to go do what you need
to do you need to continue doing your
work and I said what should we do he
says do what you do best learn toyra
pray do mitzvot help people that that
need help we're going to get through it
we we we met another couple in the uh
Hospital the husband was injured
terribly the wife was sitting there we
said oh my gosh we're so sorry for what
you went through and the lady turned to
us with strength she says no no no no
this is just a a small dent in the road
we're strong we're going to come back
stronger than ever the power of
positivity and resilience of these
people have is so inspiring now
obviously this is something of the past
but still in the present because the war
is going on the hostages were not
released the people that are injured
still have to go through their
healing and there's still missiles being
fired so there's still tremendous power
unfortunately on the evil side our job
is and I say it if you're able to come
fight come fight I asked yesterday one
of the ministers that we met what can we
do in America he says come here see for
yourself get involved and help if you're
able to come to Israel come to Israel
support support to people it's
important if you're not able to do those
two learn Torah some extra Torah pray a
little more do another Mitzvah give some
charity there's tremendous causes over
here in Israel so many people with a
rabbi that his whole job is he has a
whole staff he goes around to visit
families victims of Terror whether in
the hospital whether they're sitting
shiver whether they need a funeral
whatever is needed there's
organizations that are giving out people
food food clothing shelter there's a big
shortage of supplies for many of the
backup in the Army you can donate the
Goods ship the goods whatever it takes
if you want to do something more
meaningful special reach out to me we
met a lot of people we can do a lot of
great things for the Jewish people so
now is not a time to ask they all say
it's what happened that we'll deal with
later now we need to ask one question
what can we do to help the people of
Israel and what can we do to eradicate
evil and we can all do something don't
underestimate your power of an extra
prayer don't underestimate your power of
an extra 5 10 minutes or an hour of
Torah study and don't underestimate your
P the power that you can do by giving
some charity every bit helps a it helps
the people the morale and more
importantly it helps bringing more
positivity and more Godly light into the
this world obviously it's been two heavy
days we can talk for hours for today
that's my thought for today get up do
something for Israel and we will
continue I will add some clips to see
what's going on here in the front lines
until then have a great and blessed day
