three three more orphans one more widower and major Ron shakuri who was the father of the late major Mor shakuri who was killed in battle at this derro police station on October 7th think about what that family's experiencing right now here's a picture of of more so beautiful so sweet and by the way just to let you know reports are coming in that one of the terrorists in that attack uh that perpetrated that attack was a member of the presidential guard of Abu Maan the head of the Palestinian Authority our partners for peace and his presidential guard but is there one sanction on them not one it's it's actually insane you really can't make this stuff up you know how much more of this can we take Hashem how can you allow your people's blood to flow so freely through the streets of the Holy Land how can you allow your name to be desecrated by allowing the blood of your nation to become so cheap that we don't even have time to commemorate them and as we're being relentlessly attacked from without and from within before Shabbat we see this heartbreaking video of the families of the hostages shouting messages and blessings to their family members kidnapped in Gaza here's the message of parents of the famous sweet kind her gold it's Mama H I love you stay strong survive her it's data and what you need to know and all 107 of you need to know is not only are the families here today and 9 million people of this country but people all over the world are fighting for you will not stop until all of you are home soon her Shalom amen I mean it's just so heartbreak I mean you heard that in her voice that is the voice of a mother whose entire life has been totally and completely consumed with prayers with ex with doing everything she can she's going to America Republicans Democrats there's no she doesn't care whatever she needs to do she wants her son back her boy back you hear that in her voice it's so devastating it's devastating Beyond Comprehension you know there's so many suffering so many dying that we nearly don't even have the time to mention them to truly remember them and commemorate them as they deserve things are just happening so fast there's so many untold stories you know and then and then as we emerge from Shabbat on the holy land to find the devastating news that six hostages bodies have been retrieved from Gaza devast I mean so devastating because we all had hope in our hearts that perhaps they were still alive that they would be reunited with their families and their people we've seen Miracles like that so far here are their names 24-year-old Eden yerushalmi 40-year-old Car Carmel got 26-year old almog sarusi 32-year-old Alex leonov 25-year-old Orie Domino and of course Hersh the body of hsh Goldberg arm severed body tattered starved and torn was found it's like Devastation heartbreak people are walking around the streets and it's just done you know you can feel the grief and the Brokenness in the air while unbelievably I don't know if I should say pathetically you know at the same time there's a real tangible sense of relief and even gratitude that at least we got their bodies back you know we brought them home we can bury them in the land that they loved in a respectful way and their families can have some sense of closure and fi finality and that's something we're grateful for we descended to such degradation that our that that we're grateful that we are getting back The Battered tortured abused bodies of our fellow innocent holy Jews these beautiful daughters of Israel these beautiful princes of Israel you know meanwhile today is uh today's the first day of school when we are seeing our beautiful innocent Treasures off to school all of them wearing blue and white in solidarity in commemoration of our beautiful land and those who are fighting for it and dying for it and my children don't understand why they're wearing blue and white and I don't want them to understand but the older children do here's a here's a video of a full Battalion of dvati infantry soldiers escorting the orphaned Daughters of their General yohai Glam who was killed just a few days ago in combat in Gaza you know imagine these these sweet little girls still in shock and reeling from the death of their father just days ago being escorted to school by a battalion of givati soldiers and a last gesture to their Fearless commander who led them into battle in Gaza here's a picture of of our me and shanea our little Treasures heading off to their first day of school as Shane and I put on Brave faces holding back tears you know meanwhile just a couple hours ago reports are coming in that has attacked the Jewish village of Yuval in Northern Israel with anti-tank guided missiles and there are a number of casualties reported this is all happening right now this is happening right now and there's so much more that I'm not even privy to share as much as I want to and so you can see how natural it would be for us to shake our fists up at the heavens and scream why why this is what it means to be your chosen people choose someone else but every single one of these bereaved families I will tell you now without even knowing I will tell you now that every single one of these families that are burying their loved ones are proclaiming by the burial plot while the dirt is still fresh may God's holy name be magnified and Sanctified in the world they are literally sanctifying hashem's name from from within the Deep depths of their unimaginable and unbearable grief you're religious and secular right-wing and left it doesn't matter all of them are sanctifying God's name as they bury those who they loved as much as we love those who we love the most and with voices broken and quivering with tears I'm telling you every single one of them is pronouncing they sanctify hashem's name name you know that's why it's so important not to use this worldly eyes to judge the nation of Israel negatively because they may not fit into your definition of what it means to be religious or what it means to be obedient or what if it means to be this so you want to know why we deserve redemption or maybe we don't deserve Redemption but God will give it to us I think we you know I think we deserve Redemption because we are Believers the children of Believers even those that claim that they don't believe at all are believers and as the prophet Isaiah proclaimed ATM aai you are my Witnesses says Hashem and the day will come may it be soon may it be literally today that Hashem will reveal himself to the world through his beloved People Israel and at that great moment and at that appointed time of which none of us know the world will see beyond the shadow of a doubt that the nation of Israel lives that the god of Israel lives
