The people of Israel in the Land of Israel are coping with great courage. I hear from my parents and my siblings, who find themselves in shelters several times a day, one consistent request: just don’t stop in the middle - we are ready to keep getting up at night and running to the shelters in order to finish this.
The last time I personally heard a siren was when I was 14, during the First Gulf War. But those who have been living with this reality for years - they are true heroes.
I feel it is an honor to belong to this people.
Shabbat Shalom and Chodesh Tov,
Rabbi Zalman Wishedski
