Was October 7th a wake- up call?

October 7th, should have been a wake up call, but it wasn't. Is the shofar on Rosh Hashanah going to wake us up? 

Personally I wonder if we want to wake up to pain of the horrors of October 7th, the massacre, the kipnapping, the ongoing war against our country. Every single day is reliving the nightmare that there are still 101 hostages somewhere in Gaza enduring the horrors day in day out. There is this question I try to avoid asking myself, but there is not a day going by thinking the" What if's". Ariel five and Kfir just one year old, just four years old and nine months old when Hamas terrorists and Palestinians brutally taken them from their home together with their parents for no other reason that they are Jewish. The world saw, looked away and did nothing. How could the Holocaust have happend, i often hear. October 7 gives the anwer..The world stood by and let it happen. Some did ask " Where was your G-d?"

Where was humanity?

 

Are we going to see better times in The New Year 5785, I am  certain we will, but not before our people have been found or rescued and brought home. We are living in times of prophecies unfolding, where good is bad and bad is good. We are seeing many miracles happening in Eretz Yisroel, HaShem fighting along side the Chayalim. The bond we have with HaShem is unbreakable. Emuna, bitachon and Torah study is going to give the light that is needed to elevate the world and bring heaven down to earth, this is the whole idea behind creation, a dwelling place for HaShem to be with us.

 

We are a people who takes things in our stride, we persevere, and keep on going.

We are part of a people who are driven by a moral purpose, we belief in one G-d, responding to the call of Har Sinai in this ongoing journey and in freedom, the light of Shabbos, fighting for the oppressed, praying for the sick and all others in need, keeping the mitzvos, cherish the Torah and loving our fellow Jew, because a Jew could do no less.

 

 

October 7th should have been a huge call for the Jewish awakening of the soul! A call for connection to HaShem and each other, a call for unity, a call for teshuvah.
