This Thursday we will celebrate the Rosh Chodesh beginning of the month of Nissan. The month of the exodus from Egypt – Pesach. The month of miracles!!!!
We are living in a time of miraculous and detailed oversight by G-d.
The more you read the news, the more you observe and see the statistically impossible miraculous protection of our Holy Land.
It is incredible to see the hand of G-d working through the sophisticated weaponry that we thank G-d have in our arsenal.
The Jewish people is in a time of war. In Israel, and the world over, we are praying more and connecting more to Hashem by upgrading our mitzvah efforts.
There is a theory out there in the internet that it is possible to predict USA military moves by the ‘pizza index’.
The way this thinking goes is that when there is a spike in pizza orders to the Pentagon in the wee hours of the morning, it’s a sure sign that people are working around the clock planning a military action.
Whether this is true or not I will leave for others to debate.
There is an organization that provides Tefillin for Israeli soldiers who request them. They say that just before the latest Israel air force action in Iran there was a flurry of Tefillin requests from the air force soldiers.
I do not know this information firsthand.
What I do know, is that the Rebbe quoted the Talmud’s statement that deterrence against our enemies is generated by Jewish men putting on Tefillin.
And knowing the nature of my fellow Jews, as non-observant as they may seem to be, deep down is a pulsating, living and thriving Jewish soul-neshama that turns to G-d when salvation is needed.
So its not hard to believe that when the action is imminent, soldiers reach out to strengthen their Tefillin observance.
As well, it is clearly stated in the Torah that having a kosher Mezuzah on one’s door is a sure way to ensure a secure and protected home.
This has led to a surge in those requesting mezuzahs.
Around the world more mitzvahs are being done for the protection of our brothers and sisters in Israel, civilians and soldiers alike. And for the protection of Jewish communities around the world.
We are all ONE.
Below are links for providing
Tefillin for those who commit to wearing them.

Giving Tzedakah is always important,

And most of all, combat anti-semitism by doing acts of Judaism.
Joyously and energetically and proudly.
Shabbat Shalom
