Rededication in Yeshivos to Torah Study and Organized Prayers
The regular study sessions in the yeshivos are witnessing a remarkable rededication, while special prayers have also been organized in many communities for the salvation of Klal Yisroel in view of the threatening situation in Eretz Yisroel, as many cities and towns in the south are being ceaselessly bombarded. It is hoped that the renewed fervor of study and prayer will invoke Hashem's mercy for his people so that He protect us from all danger.

At first, we began planning afternoon activities for the children, but have had to stop our plans because we cannot take the risk of the welfare and safety of hundreds of children gathering for activities in places which do not have a safe shelter.
A Letter from HaRav Chaim Kanievsky
Rabi Shimon may be relied upon in times of need (Brochos 9a) and Rabi Shimon is brought down in Sifrei Eikev (38) saying: It is not a Kiddush Hashem if the words of tzaddikim are fulfilled during their lifetimes and not after their death (and it cannot be thus), and therefore, when the Chazon Ish zt"l said that in Bnei Brak no bombs would fall, as testified by HaRav Elozor Tzodok Turchin zt"l, this will surely be fulfilled today and there is no reason whatsoever to fear.
