On behalf of ‘The Jewish Weekly’ We apologize, but due to the current situation and our editor being dispatched down to the south, unfortunately, we were not able to publish an issue last week.
Please see a message sent by Yossi to the world last Friday Erev Shabbat Bereishit.
WOW!!!!!!! Never did I think it would be this hard to put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard. Words cannot describe how we all feel right now. There are simply no terms in the dictionary to describe the depth of the pain, the outrage, and the sadness, especially for those like myself, who went down south last Shabbat afternoon, to save those who can be saved and honor those who simply couldn’t be saved.
But neither can words contain the strength of the Jewish People’s resolve, and the immense power of our faith and our unity. United as one and firm in our trust in Hashem, Torah assures us victory over the evil people who are blinded by darkness.
It is no coincidence that the hostilities broke out on Simchat Torah, the day we joyously read how Hashem created heaven and earth. It was He who gave the Land of Israel to His beloved nation, and it is He who will surely watch over us today.
Let’s remember: We are all in this together. And together, with Hashem’s help, we shall overcome.
