The Charedi Girl’s Request from the Soldier’s Wife by Anonymous

You won’t believe what happened to me right now:

My husband got out of the army for a few hours (on the way to a funeral at Mount Herzl). He told me he wouldn’t have time to come home and asked that we meet in Jerusalem.
We sat in a cafe in a Charedi area.
The waitress served us some free treats, on the house.
And in the end, when we asked for the bill, the waitress told us the bill had already been paid: “One of the other diners paid for you.”
We went outside, still in shock, when a young Charedi girl approached me and asked me to bless her.
I began to cry.
I said to her: “You want a blessing from ME? My husband the soldier should bless you!”
She told me: “No. I want a blessing from YOU. Bless me that I should grow up to be an Eshet Chayil, a Woman of Valour, like you.
No words…
Master of the Universe.
It looks like we have already won the war–between us. Now all we have left to do is beat Hamas. 🙏
