For those of us who live far from Israel and the raging war that endangers our people and our land - there is still a way we can help. It is said that the Torah, the Jewish People, and the Land of Israel are all one. We can create divine protection simply by praying for another Jew, learning on their behalf, or performing a mitzvah with them in mind. Read below to find out how you can contribute to the safety and welfare of Jewish soldiers and residents in Israel. May we soon merit to see Moshiach and usher in an era of peace for the entire world.
Our soldier is Yitzchak David ben Miriam. Hashem should bless him with success and return him safely to his family.
This grassroots program pairs individual Jews worldwide with an Israeli soldier or resident in danger. By you doing acts of kindness, prayer and learning Torah in their name it adds to the spiritual merit of that soldier or resident in danger. It’s simple, it’s one on one and it’s powerful.
In times of crisis Jews come together. As seen when over 100,000 people joined the first project of this kind during Project Cast Lead.
Israeli soldiers and recently also civilians are in the line of fire. The army trains them to think in terms of their unit, first and foremost. In the same way, we have to think in terms of our unit as well: the Jewish People. The only way we can overcome our enemies is if we band together.
This is a person to person match that everyone can do.
The families of the soldiers would enjoy the reassurance that Jews around the world are spiritually supporting their children. All participants are helping to bring about unity, connectedness and the spiritual growth of the Jewish People
Everyone wins.
