Special ALERT!
The Deputy Commander of the Givati Brigade (main combat unit in the Gaza area), literally crying, begged to convey to us, the chareidi tzibbur, that we’re not awake enough to the war situation in Gaza and that the fighting is very difficult and dangerous. This is the Hebrew message he sent out.
The terrible situation is that soldiers are being killed each and every night.
He emphasized that the main fighting at night starts from 11PM Israel time and continues until the morning, but the hardest hours are 2-5 AM. He brings his soldiers further and further inward to fight, but he doesn’t feel like he has enough support from the יראים ושלמים staying up at night to daven and say Tehillim for the soldiers.
He requested that the chareidim take responsibility for organizing minyanim to say Tehillim, especially during those hours. So several amazing women did exactly that. There’s more than one of these going around – so whichever one you sign up for – it’s good – there are so many people that want to help that we have a lot of things to sign up for! The main point is to do at least one of them! This spreadsheet has 15 minute time slots for both Tehillim and Limud Torah (people learning Torah), there are two separate tabs. Please take down this link and spread it further. It’s for women and also the men.
