Lion’s Roar & Epic Fury: War Middle East United States & Israel vs. Iran Wink News Rabbi Y Minkowicz

Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowitz answered his phone during our interview, the war suddenly felt closer to home. On the other line, his sister in a bomb shelter. I'm actually doing great. Spiritually, I couldn't be any better. Physically, I'm with my family here in the Holy Land and even emotionally, we got used to the rhythm of the sirens and the shelter. Rosenfeld says being back in her Holy Land is what makes this conflict feel different. >> When you're here and you're actually hearing the war planes or you know, get getting the getting the warnings on your phone to find a shelter, it just you're experiencing it in a very real way. Nobody knows the sights and sounds better than those on the front lines. Issam Bashar, who once lived in Naples, sent me exclusive video and spoke to me in his IDF uniform. They cannot hide anymore. You know, they just kill like how many put how many put this it was against the Israel. They been so careful not to kill the innocent citizens. And for 2 and 1/2 years in Gaza and they kill like 40,000 people in like 3 days. It's crazy, you know, like all the hypocrisy went out. He says despite the danger, morale is strong. Naples is very beautiful. But there's no other place that I really to be right now than here. Doing the mission for you know, for for every human being in the world. Back in Southwest Florida, Rabbi Minkowitz says his congregation was first in shock and now finding strength in faith. Finally, someone is taking the head of the snake and saying, "We're done." We want to live in a world, a world, a place of peace, of happiness, and people can enjoy life and not have to be worried about a bomb, a missile, uh terrorism, anti-Semitism. I mean, it's enough. He says prayer has filled his synagogue in recent days. I think it's important as Jews and anybody to remember who ultimately calls the shots, that's God. We hope for one thing, peace, happiness, people should feel secure, they can live a good life, but I do believe the only way we're going to have it is with God's help. >> In Fort Myers, Lauren Halperin, WINK News.
