IDF Rabbi’s Powerful Prayer with Soldiers Entering Battle
This remarkable video has altered the way I think of IDF soldiers. At this prayer ceremony before entering battle, all machismo evaporates as the soldiers turn to Hashem with such vulnerability and sincerity. Like a personal Neila prayer, battle after battle.
Today was a challenging day for Israel, 25 soldiers were injured in battles with Hizbollah in southern Lebanon, 2 of them severely. 67 Israeli civilians were injured by an attack drone that somehow snuck past Israeli radar, 4 of them critically. Please Hashem hear the prayers of these holy soldiers and keep them and us secure and safe from harm.
