Dear Soldier, I am a high school student… The war you are fighting in the Holy Land has grabbed my full attention. I am standing behind you and believe in what you are fighting for. You are fighting for Israel, my home, and a safe haven for Jews and any others wishing to practice religion peacefully all over the world.
I thank you from the deepest place in my heart for putting yourself in harms way for the fight against any enemy of freedom. You are my hero. I am praying for immediate peace and success in all of your missions. May G-d bring salvation to all those in need and peace to the land of Israel. Thank you for your dedication to Israel. Love…

1. In this week’s Torah portion Yakov Avinu (Jacob our forefather) blesses each one of his twelve children.
When Yakov Avinu blesses his son Asher he says, “From Asher- his bread is rich, he will provide kingly delicacies”.
Rashi (an acronym for Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki) explains this blessing and says: “The food which comes from the land that Asher received as an inheritance is rich and fat because there are many olives in his portion which give oil like a spring. As we see, Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) also blessed Asher by saying, ‘And he will (even be able to) dip his feet in oil’”.

RAMAT BEIT SHEMESH, Israel — Nestled in the picturesque Ella Valley about a 45-minute drive from Tel Aviv sits the quiet town of Ramat Beit Shemesh. It is neither “over the green-line,” nor in the direct line of rocket fire. As Palestinian rockets pound the earth 30 minutes to its south, the general feeling in this central part of the country is that it’s a relatively “safe” place to live.
