More than
eleven months of lighting an extra candle for the hostages every Shabbat eve.
More than eleven months of leaving our phones one over Shabbat according to
security instructions. More than eleven months of reciting Avinu Malkanu day in
and day out, even on Shabbat. More than eleven months of preparing cakes and
other goodies for our soldiers and their families More than eleven months of war.
Soon my sons
will be going back to active duty. I am no different than thousands of other
mothers. We’re concerned for all the soldiers, but it becomes sharper when our
children are fighting for our very survival.
In less than
two weeks we will begin a new year. What will it hold? Will HaShem answer our
pleas for true peace and the return home of all? Could this be the year of true
redemption? It’s in His hands but we have to help Him.
Shabbat
shalom
