As a merit for all Klal Yisrael Our Torah, our yeshivos and kollelim, and  The hostages, soldiers, and everyone together Please keep these emails coming...give your friendship gift here _____________________________________________________________________   CHAZAK V'AMATZ 89 20 Sivan, 5785, Sunday night Inspirational stories from this war, miracles, chessed, Shabbos stories... our spiritual growth...more! Written & compiled by Tamar Ansh _________________________________________________________________________________ You can have your business mentioned here. Email me Hello, hello! I know you're all very anxious to hear from me and what's going on here in Eretz Yisrael. If you've been reading my emails for a while, you know that I actually was not here for over three weeks. Hodu l'Hashem, I'm so so grateful that even with extending my ticket by another half a week (yes, I had more family obligations while there I needed to stay for), B"h, Baruch Hashem, Hashem did me the chessed that the entire time I was gone, it was totally quiet over here. I left with a conflicted heart. On the one hand, I needed to go and see all the different family members, take care of many things and spend time with my family. On the other hand, I'm nervous to leave Eretz Yisrael at this time – what happens if things heat up exactly when I'm gone? And if flights get cancelled? Or the Geulah, that we're all waiting for for SO long finally starts to happen and after all this time of talking about it and praying for it, I'm not even here… Hashem gave me a lot of siyata d'shmaya, heavenly assistance, above and beyond the normal with this trip – my longest one I've done in over 25 years (yes!! ) – but this part even more so. I am so grateful to Hashem that He helped me get all the way home (even with all my gazillion luggages and chachkes and stuff and stuff—oh, America, the land of "stuff!") and settled back home and only then, boom! Everything started up. I am SO relieved I'm here to be with the rest of everyone here, Klal Yisrael, my family and most of all just to be here for this. Baruch Hashem I got back just in time! **** And WOA! THE NISSIM!! The bombings and attacks! The precision Hashem has granted the army and those carrying out these missions – it's mind-boggling! Our main "avoda", our main work right now? Is to keep doing these things: 1. Remember that it's Hashem orchestrating everything, giving all the people involved the ability to do what they're doing – and making it successful 2. Keep thanking Him and keep thanking Him. None of this is "just because". We are a nation of "Yehudim" , those that thank 3. Keep up your prayers they are helping a lot more than we all realize! ************ SO! Before I get interrupted again (I just got out of our building's shelter a few minutes ago) – and the first thing I did was run to the computer to finish typing this up for you – let me at least send the first part of this Chazak email because there is a LOT to share. A LOT. First of all – I got something so incredibly inspiring from none other than one of our Gedolei HaDor that I know I've quoted to you from throughout the war – HaRav Shternbuch, shlita. Rav Shternbuch is the rav that was predicting this war even before the actual events of Simchas Torah/ Oct 7th actually happened. The Rav's insights are almost prescient and coming from this Rav, it's all the more encouraging what he said today and yesterday. In fact, I received this from the talmid chacham that writes them up two times in a row, just to be sure we all received it. I copied/pasted here for you, as its written by R' Binyomin Prys, shlita: Message from Rav Shternbuch, shlita, From Rav Shternbuch's Friday afternoon shiur (got this by email): Many ask whether we should be afraid of Iran. I tell you that there is nothing to be afraid of. We have Hashem.  He helped and He helps and He will help. We just have to believe that the A-mighty watches over us and saves us, and just as His mercy has helped us so far so it will continue. To this day, we are a small people who stand against our enemies. And Hashem protects us. Although we do not understand how, why and when. A small people – Am Yisroel Although all the Gentiles want to destroy us, we must live with faith However, people who think that everything is run by "nature" They have to be afraid, because if they trust in "nature" Hashem shows them their mistake and they deserve punishment. Because the world is not run in accordance with nature but only with the mercy of G-d And everyone needs to strengthen themselves with strong faith. An atom bomb falls only with Hashm's command. And if Hashem wants there not to be an atomic bomb, then there will not be one. And we need to be confident and sure that we are in good hands – in Hahsem's hands. And there is nothing to fear, nothing at all. People who talk about an atom bomb – it is all nonsense We are in Hashem's hands all the time Every gentile would like to see how the Jew will dissapear from the world. They see him on the street and they are jealous. "What are they doing here?" they say. But Hashem helps and will help' and we trust in that and in nothing else. We have no reason to be afraid of an atom bomb There could be an atom bomb, but Hashem will not allow it to happen. He will not let us down. Everyone needs to know that there could be an atom bomb, but we have Hashem to help us. And in every generation, this is the way we were saved This is how we existed in the past and this is how we will exist in the future – with complete confidence in Hashem, even though we do not understand His ways We were not given the intellect to understand this, but everyone needs to live with faith. If there is faith, there are no questions, and without faith there are no answers. A person of faith needs to know that we do not have the possibility as human beings to understand the ways of Hashem. And everyone needs to know that he is an important person and all his actions are written in Heaven. Not only what he does but even what he thinks and with Hashem there is no difference between action, thought and speech, everything is the same. Hashem created us and gave us the intellect to understand what is necessary Therefore, everyone needs to strengthen their faith and I say there is nothing to fear from an atom bomb! Absolutely nothing. It is nonsense We are in the hands of the A-mighty, every day, and every hour and if He wills it then there will be an atom bomb, and if not, then it will not. Hashem will help. We need to strengthen our faith and we will still see many miracles with G-d's help, may they come speedily.. End of the Rav's segment. All we can add to this is: A-MEN V'A-MEN! ***** Please continue to daven for our brethren that are still in captivity. Hostages in Hebrew click here Remaining hostages English click here **** Please remember to daven about all our Torah students, our "bachurim" and the averichim who sit and learn Torah that protects us all, all over the world, in every corner that we are. It's especially frightening that davka right now when we need this merit the most, it's being threatened. Daven! Yes you! Yes, us! Our prayers really matter! Just as we pray for our soldiers on the war front, we need to pray for our soldiers on the spiritual front – each is very important. *** Chizuk, encouragement, and incredibly inspiring messages!  There is SO much chizuk and special messages all over that you can read. Here's just a small sampling of what I've compiled so far…I'm sure there's more to come, too!

And then, if that's not enough, a friend sent me this! It's written by Motti Castel, said over by a member of the Knesset named Orit Struck , who wears a tichel in the Knesset! I couldn't get over that the members of the security council took the time to say Tehillim and pray to G-d before (or during?) the initial strike on Iran. WOW. WOW. WOW. I just copied it verbatim from the friend that sent it to me (thank you K!) Motti Castel: and Minister Orit Struck:  At this moment, as these words are being written, we are all amazed by the incredible performance of the IDF and the rest of our security forces, but it is clear that this will not end just like this. Iran, the ayatollahs, has prepared for us a machine of destruction on a massive scale.  We still have difficult days ahead of us, there may still be casualties, and disruptions. But any price we pay now for this necessary preventive war will be nothing compared to the prices prepared for us by the Iranian machine of destruction. Prices that mean the elimination of the State of Israel. Nothing less.  The historic decision made tonight in the cabinet is a return to our most basic security principles, to the responsibility we have to wake up and destroy those who rise up to destroy us. I had the privilege of sitting tonight around the decision-making table, where the prices and difficulties that still await us were also considered, and the considerations here and there were presented in their full seriousness.  The privilege of being a part of historic moments of taking responsibility for the life of the people of Israel, for the existence of the State of Israel. Moments of "a people who will rise up like a hound" – a people who know how to shake off and rise up at the right time, to rise up on their own initiative and leap towards the goal without delay, to devour and not be devoured. "Please, Lord, save us, please, Lord, make us successful!" – these were my concluding words, for the record, at the closing moments of the cabinet meeting. We finished the Book of Psalms together, and I got to read the chapters for Friday.  But it took me a long time to move forward with them. Every few moments I came to a verse that was so fitting for the situation, as if it had been written specifically for those moments, and I found myself reading it over and over and over again... After all the precise intelligence, all the preparations, all the high execution capabilities, all the wonderful "surprises" that our security forces prepared for our enemies, and all the secrecy and multiple deceptions that were employed to disrupt their minds and allow us to inflict truly mortal harm on them, after all this - we still needed the grace of God so that "they would not overtake us," and that is truly in God's hands.  Since I lingered over the verses, I accepted Minister Waserloff's generous offer (who, for the sake of complete disclosure, said most of the chapters) to transfer chapter 119 to him, (my note: this chapter is very long) and so I found myself finishing last, in chapter 18, with the verse that seemed to have been written specifically for us: "Please, Lord, save us, please! Please, Lord, help us!" Please, Lord of the universe, our Redeemer and the Redeemer of our ancestors, please protect all our pilots, all our soldiers, and the rest of our security forces, and send blessings and success in all the works of their hands, and may our enemies be put to shame... Please protect, save, and protect all our citizens, for they too will have to endure this difficult campaign that we have begun, and please send us your light and truth, and guide us with good counsel from before you, throughout this preventive war into which we have embarked, a war of salvation from the hands of our enemies who rise up against us to destroy us. Shabbat Shalom, together we will triumph in God." In Hebrew I found it even more inspiring, but it's too long to include here. I'll share just the last part of it from the Hebrew – because in Hebrew, you can hear the actual pesukim/ verses of Tehillim that the speaker mentions: It was sent out prior to Shabbos over here, when the army did their first strikes at Iran: אחרי כל אלה – עדין נזקקנו גם לחסדי שמים כדי ש"לא יעלו עלינו", וזה הרי באמת בידי שמים. כיון שהתעכבתי על הפסוקים, נעניתי להצעתו הנדיבה של השר וסרלוף (שלמען הגילוי הנאות, אמר את רוב הפרקים) להעביר אליו את פרק קי"ט, וכך מצאתי את עצמי מסיימת אחרונה, בפרק י"ח עם הפסוק שכאילו נכתבו ממש למעננו: "אנא ה' הושיעה נא, אנא ה' הצליחה נא!", אנא ריבונו של עולם, גואלנו וגואל אבותינו, אנא שמור את כל טייסינו, את כל חיילינו, ושאר כוחות הבטחון שלנו, ושלח ברכה והצלחה בכל מעשי ידיהם, והדבר שונאינו תחתיהם... אנא שמור והצל והגן על כל אזרחינו, כי גם הם יצטרכו לעמוד במערכה הכבדה הזו בה פתחנו, ואנא שלח לנו אורך ואמתך ותקננו בעצה טובה מלפניך, לכל אורכה של מלחמת-המנע הזו אליה יצאנו, מלחמת הצלה מיד אובינו הקמים עלינו לכלותנו. שבת שלום, יחד ננצח בע"ה" I know that many of you do not understand Hebrew but for those that do, this is just an excerpt of the longer piece. I was just blown away by this piece, and moved beyond words. (And anyhow, the full text of the English is above the Hebrew. )  There's more to say – especially my experiences overseas and my flights and so on, but it will have to wait for now. I know you're all davening with us. In the meantime, please realize how very very very much your tefillos are helping!! YES we feel it, yes we feel your care. So YES it's hugely important to NOT continue our lives "as usual". This is not called "powering through." What is yes something we can each do? Please – let's go back to our previous discussions of ONE TINY STEP towards a small piece of teshuva, something we can change up or do differently, even if only for like 40 days if it's too hard to think of doing it "all the time". Think o fsomething – and then every day and each time you do whatever it is, repeat to Hashem : "I'm doing this (action, learning, extra measure of tzniut, etc) for the sake of Klal Yisrael, for Eretz Yisrael, and to show YOU, Hashem, that I miss You and I want YOU back in our lives! Please redeem us – even if our houses in (xx country) are so beautiful – I know it will be even better when we have the geula. Please redeem us and bring us all back to YOU back home again where we can really rejoice together as a Nation with You as our Rock and Redeemer! Let's say this together right now: Perek 121 of Tehillim: Shir l'maalos, esah aiynai el he'harim…ma'ayin yavo ezri? SEE IT HERE: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/16342/jewish/Chapter-121.htm Finish that and then call out to Hashem: אנא ד', הושיע נא!! אנא ד', הצליחה נא!! Ana Hashem, Hoshia na! Ana Hashem hatzlicha na! Please Hashem SAVE US, please Hashem, make us successful! Redeem us now! And then add in whatever else is resting on your heart. Until I can write again, may we all be protected by our G-d Above, who loves us and sees every single bit we are managing to do. Sending you all loads of chizuk and care and all my best, Tamar Ansh Baruch Hashem once again back here in Yerushalayim Ihr Hakodesh With hope and prayers for our Redemption b'karov, very soon.
