My dear fellow fighters,

If there was ever a time that כלל ישראל needs us to be strong, it's now.

As I'm sure everybody knows by now, hundreds of Yidden have been slain, murdered, butchered in ארץ ישראל over the past two days. Thousands more have been injured. Terrorists are raiding Israeli cities, villages and communities, slaying Jews en masse. Israel is at war with monstrous creatures who only want to shed more and more Jewish blood. Almost every one of us knows someone-be it family, friends, or acquaintances-in ארץ ישראל right now. Many GYE fighters will be reading these words in ארץ הקדושה itself.

WE NEED TO BE STRONG. Not just for ourselves, but for the sake of our brothers and sisters enduring unspeakable סכנת נפשות as we speak.

We can make a difference. We're not on the front lines of the physical armies risking their lives for כלל ישראל and the Holy Land, but we are on the front lines of the spiritual army fighting for our souls.

But this time, we're fighting for other souls, in addition to our own. We need to be more conscious than ever of our personal struggles, and channel that grit into strength.

Hashem is watching everybody, including us. We can show Him that we are better than what we've done in the past-that we can grit our teeth and rise higher, for the sake of אחינו כל בית ישראל.

I'm not a leader or moderator of any sort, but this is the moment when all of our "army/soldier/fighter/battle" references come into play. It is a tremendous עת צרה for our nation. Let's do our part.

Let's fight.

how about we dedicate some time that we will stay clean (or do something small that we can) as a zechus for the safety of our brothers and sisters? 

i'm dedicating staying clean tonight

Dear Ainshum,
Can I please suggest like your last line, that we all take every night and day seperately.
It hard to say that for x time ill be clean, because we dont know.

Dov wrote beautifully in an old post on RH dont daven for the whole year, just daven for today.
So everyone, lets daven for our soldiers (BTW my youngest brother being one of them) be safe. and then the next day.

May we share good news

i should clarify that i spoke to one of my mentors/partners and he pointed out that im more likely to fall on motzei  shabbos/yom tov (for whatever reason) so my post last night was just another safeguard for that time

May the mesirus nefesh so many guys are showing here be a zchus for all.

Amazing message (www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?v=259137) from R' Yaakov Asher Sinclair:

"I'm speaking to you from ירושלים עיר הקודש.
Not long ago we had to run to our shelters.
I don't need to tell you what's going on here, you've probably seen it all. It's shocking reality.
You probably feel in the States and Europe that there's nothing you can do. You can help out financially, you can dial it in, but you feel so far away.
You're so wrong.
There's something you can do that deflects bombs, that protects us all here in Eretz Yisrael...you can join us here on the front line.
When you walk down the street and you turn away-even if you're not the type of person who generally does that-and you say: "THIS IS FOR MY BROTHERS IN ERETZ YISRAEL, THIS IS FOR MY BROTHERS WHO ARE CAPTURED, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO ARE IN FEAR OF THEIR LIVES!"
This could be one of the most powerful things a person can do." -R' Yaakov Asher Sinclair

 רבותי, we can help! We can make a difference!
Let's fight!
May our מסירת נפש and inner strength be a זכות for אחינו כל בית ישראל.
