From Darkness to Light

Israel will prevail. Our Torah assures us of this, our history proves it. It is tough to live with this assurance, as we live each day terrified hearing about more losses plus the fear that the hostages will still be alive.

We've lived through the darkness, a time that we never thought possible in our lifetimes. How could things have spun out of control so fast an unleashed so much hate and antisemitism?

We've experienced an incredible assault on our senses, on our belief that others know right from wrong. We've seen horrific atrocities perpetrated out of the sheer lust for violence.

Hatred uncovered its nasty and vile head from the ground.

Now, it is on record. Documented. People will be held accountable.

But, can you see it beginning? We are coming into the light now. There are cracks forming in the vast blackness.

The world is beginning to see what we've seen, and we have to have Trust, Bitachon.

We have to never stop fighting, never stop saying what has to be said over and over again...but our trust? That lies beyond us, with the Eternal One.

Am Yisrael Chai , Israel shall live. The People of Israel shall prevail.
