    The Main Thing is Action- Rebbe’s Directives for a Safe Eretz Yisrael

    Gather children ,especially at Holy Places-to say pesukim of Torah and Tehilim and give tzedaka
    Increase in Torah and Mitzvos-seals the land with locks and bolts so that enemy will not enter
    3.Strengthen Torah and aid yeshivos-a young man learning Torah protects more than soldier who protects at the border.

    4.Increase acts of tefilla in beginning”I hereby take upon myself to to fulfill the mitzvah of “Love your fellow as yourself”and end,”Indeed the righteous will extol Your Name; the upright will live in Your Presence “.This will counter the warlike atmosphere in the world.

    5.Increase in Mitzvoim-especially in the mitzvah of tefillin and buying letters in sifrei Torah

    6. Increase in charity-to the poor;a portion to Jews in the land and especially for IDF who don’t pay attention to politics but stand with self-sacrifice to protect the land;give tzedaka for the sake of the politicians that they along with their yetzer hara should finally come out of internal psychological exile

    7.Peace among Yidden, brings shleimus haAm(completed nation) and then Torah will be complete which will facilitate Shleimus HaAretz( a complete land) in which not even an inch will be touched.

    8.Increase in joy-to greatest possible extent

    9. Make their disgrace widely known-Refers to the politician(s) who are responsible for this current mess(in our case release of terrorists, offering to give away land) so that they don’t become re-elected.

    10. Askanim need to influence government not to give away an inch.

    11.Protest rally are for the men to attend and it is a tsnius question for women and one should ask their local Orthodox rabbi
