OPINION & COMMENT

Reflections on Trigger-Happy Police

The facts are chilling -- and so are the reactions.

The difficult security situation puts people on edge, especially those charged with preserving public safety. At any time and in any place anyone, and especially anyone in a uniform, can suddenly be the object of a heartless and cruel attack.

Maran HaGaon R' Shach, zt'l in words of chizuk concerning the people's needs in times of trouble

Dear Talmidim, cherished Bnei Torah,

Our situation in Eretz Yisroel is indeed terrible. There is no day whose curse is less than its predecessor's. Each day and its deaths, another Jew, another two. Circumstances like these never existed in the world. It is devastating. A fear to walk outside.
