Yesterday, as I was visiting a friend, I heard the breaking news that a synagogue in Michigan had been attacked. A man drove an explosives-laden vehicle into the building while 140 children and staff were inside. Thank G-d, the security guard stopped him and no one was harmed.
Moments like that remind us how quickly things can change, and how much we rely on Hashem’s protection.
At the same time, Israel continues to face waves of rockets and missiles. Yet despite the scale of these attacks, countless lives have been spared. Alongside the bravery of soldiers and security systems, a Jew also sees the Hand of Hashem protecting His people again and again.
Of course, we must respond responsibly and strengthen security where needed - and we will continue doing so. But the Gemara teaches that King Chizkiyahu lost the opportunity to become Moshiach because he did not sing praise after a great miracle.
A Jew must not only notice danger, we must also notice salvation and thank Hashem for every life protected and every miracle we witness.
Thank you Hashem for all the miracles!
This week we complete the second book of the Torah and proclaim “Chazak, Chazak, v’Nitchazek” — be strong, be strong, and let us strengthen one another. The world may feel like it’s shaking, but the Torah — the blueprint of creation — gives strength and stability to the world.
Our sages teach that the world stands on three pillars: Torah, prayer, and Mitzvot — acts of kindness and goodness. When we strengthen one another through these pillars, even a small act — a hug, a kind word, a simple mitzvah — can help hold up the entire world!
Shabbat Shalom!
