“The secret things belong to the L-rd our G-d, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” — Deuteronomy 29:29

THE MIRACLES AMONGST US

How many times and in how many ways our lives and health have been Divinely saved we may never know, but we miss the best of life if we do not recognize the miracles amongst us.

On Tisha B’Av, the saddest day of the Jewish year, let us remember the Divine miracles on the battlefields of warfare and the daily battlefields of life, where we are blessed in countless ways, some “revealed” and some “secret.” Let us pray for Israel and its courageous defenders of the Holy Land, protecting us all worldwide.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d, from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighters from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under our soldiers’ sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is the L-rd your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you. Amen.
