<div dir="ltr"><div>I cannot even begin to tell you how agonizing it is to have to add
as many names as we're adding to the mishebayrach list this week. Please
keep all of our chayalim in mind when you daven, learn and do mitzvot!<br><br></div><div>I'm including a couple of links to some worthwhile reads (in my opinion):<br><br></div><div>Heartfelt, first-hand account of what's happening in Israel by my uncle Rabbi Avi Weiss<br>
<a href="http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/israel-during-operation-protective-edge/">http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/israel-during-operation-protective-edge/</a><br><br></div><div>Pics and bios of fallen Israeli soldiers:<br>
<a href="http://www.timesofisrael.com/fallen-idf-soldiers-in-operation-protective-edge/">http://www.timesofisrael.com/fallen-idf-soldiers-in-operation-protective-edge/</a><br><br></div><div>Finally, an incredible letter written by a soldier on the front (forwarded by my good friend, Rabbi David Levin):<br>
</div><div><br><div style="margin-left:40px"><span class="">What's
happening here in the staging area [area where soldiers prepare to
enter Gaza] is beyond comprehension, not rationally, not emotionally and
begs the imagination.</span><br><span class=""> </span><br><span class=""> Almost every hour a car shows up overflowing with food, sn<span class="">acks,
cold drinks, socks, underwear, undershirts, hygiene supplies, wipes,
cigarettes, backgammon and more. They're coming from the North and the
Center, from manufacturers, from companies and private businesses, from
prisons, Chareidim and Settlers, from Tel Aviv and even Saviyon.</span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> </span></span><br><span class=""><span class="">
Every intersection on they way down here we get stopped, not by the
police, but be residents giving out food. What is amazing is that the
entire situation wasn't organized and everyone is coming on their own
without coordination between the folks coming.</span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> </span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> They're writing
letters and blessings, how they're thinking of us all the time. There
are those who spent hours making sandwiches, so they're as perfect and
comforting as possible.</span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> </span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> Of course representatives of Chabad are
here to help soldiers put on Tefillin and distributing Cha'Ta'Ts
(Chumash, Tehillim, Tanya) for every troop transport and Breslov are
showing up to the border and dancing with the soldiers with great joy.</span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> </span></span><br><span class=""><span class="">
The Chareidim are coming from their yeshivot to ask the names of the
soldiers with their mothers' names so that the whole yeshiva can pray
for them. It should be mentioned that all of this is done under the
threat of the terrorist tunnels and rockets in the area.</span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> Soroka
Hospital (in Be'er Sheva) today looks like a 5 star hotel. A wounded
friend who was recently discharged told us how the MasterChef truck is
parked outside and is preparing food for the wounded.</span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> </span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> It goes
without saying the amount of prayer services that are going on. On the
religious front as well, there are lectures and Torah classes, all the
food is obviously Kosher. Shachrit, Mincha, and Maariv with Sifrei
Torah. They're giving out tzitzit and Tehilim by the hundreds. It's
become the new fashion! The Rabbi of Maglan [Special Forces unit] told
me that almost the entire unit has started wearing them, because the
Army Rabbinate has been giving out tzitzit that wick away sweat. They're
gaining both a Mitzva and a high quality undershirt. We've started
calling them "Shachpatzitzti" (a portmanteau of the Hebrew term for body
armor and tzitzit). We're having deep conversations late into the night
without arguments, without fights and we find ourselves agreeing on
most stuff.</span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> </span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> We're making lots of jokes at Hamas's expensive and
without politics. There's lots more to add but my battery is running
low and the staff has been requesting someone give a class on Likutei
MoharaN (Breslov).</span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> </span></span><br><span class=""><span class=""> How happy is the nation that is like this.</span></span><br></div><br></div><div>Have a wonderful Shabbos<br>
