This was a terrible week for Israel. Waiting for Iran to strike, everyone is on edge. And when the army shut down GPS in much of the country yesterday, things went nuts ...
This is just so so heartbreaking. The courage this child had— to watch her mother and brother die, and still hold on to help herself and her father. Please, Lord, we need salvation!
As always, thank you. Can you tell us more about the book you've mentioned here--do you know if a translation is in the works? "In a monologue that appears in a new book, One Day in October, she tells what happened there, in her own words." Shabbat shalom and besorot tovot.
Daniel, you wrote: "Of course the violence was wrong and misguided—but if it was your daughter stuck there in that hell for what is now almost half a year, what would you do?" You know that only a small fraction of the 100,000 protesters are the families of hostages. The rest are left-wing Kaplan protesters who are picking up where they left off October 6--with hatred and violence. These violent protests are exactly what caused the catastrophe of October 7--both politically (when our enemies saw how weak and divided we were) and spiritually, for the destruction of the Second Temple and the Second Commonwealth were caused by "sinas chinum," hatred among Jews. How can you not strongly condemn these protests?

Another day. Another heartbreak.
I picked a side a long time ago. How could you not? 13 and this is what she endured. Why? Simply for being a Jew? It's too much. Brave, brave girl.

Oh my; you're certainly not letting us forget--thank you.
