Praying

 

When I first moved to Shilo we were a village of seventy families, and we all knew each other. As we’ve quadrupled in size that is no longer true, however we are all connected. Since the war began four of our Shilo boys were injured, all sons of old-timers. Thankfully all have recovered or are well on their way to recovery. And then on Shabbat another of our young men was seriously injured in a ramming attack and we’re praying for Ophir Ben Shoshana Zipporah.

Meanwhile the miracles continue. Thursday night my son’s tank ran over an incendiary device in Gaza. It exploded but somehow neither my son nor his comrades were injured.

Along with my prayers for Ophir are ones of thankfulness for my son. I pray that he and all the other soldiers remain safe. I pray for the hostages, the evacuees, and the injured to come home safe and whole. Please HaShem make it happen. Please make the most major miracle of all and defeat the evil.
