Tzivos Hashem Joins World Wide Rally To Vanquish The Enemy
On Sunday morning the news hit Crown Heights that the Rebbe’s Shliach to Gush Katif, Rabbi Kirshenzaft, was seriously wounded in a terrorist attack. He was in a car together with a visitor from California when a bomb exploded close by. All the car windows were shattered, and both passengers suffered wounds from the flying debris. At first it was reported that Kirshenzaft had sustained life threatening wounds. A few hours later it was learned that the wounds were not as serious as first reported B”H.
The students of the Chabad Yeshiva that was recently established in Gush Katif heard the sound of the nearby explosion. Rather than going to see what happened, and possibly being on the scene during a follow up attack, the students said Tehillim for Rabbi Kirshenzaft for two hours straight. [In the afternoon when I called Rosh Yeshiva Tzvi Bogomilsky, he answered his phone just as the boys were singing “Utzu Aitza.” The singing was incredibly loud and enthusiastic. It is very encouraging to hear the words “Contrive a plot…but it will not materialize, for G-d is with us” coming straight from Gush Katif.]
