As a community, let’s stand together and focus on positives
A lot has been said in recent weeks about Operation Protective Edge. That the debate has aroused passion is good. That as a community the vast majority support Israel’s right to exist is a given.

Please let us not dissipate our passion and energy fighting with other members of our community. Let’s take that incredible passion, that intense energy and focus on positives.
Let’s go and fill the shuls of our main centres on Shabbos – Ma’ariv, Shacharis and Mincha (weekdays would be great as well).
We got 12 000 into Huddle Park – that’ll fill up a number of shuls! It doesn’t matter when you were last in shul, know that your presence there is helping Am Yisrael and suddenly you will feel the pride of being part of a kahal. Perhaps then a tingle will run down your spine, as it does mine, during the recital of Shema Yisrael during Kedushah.
Let’s do a mitzvah that you weren’t previously doing.
Once we step up, perhaps Hashem in His Divine wisdom, will ensure that Am Yisrael prevail.
Jews do not want any conflict in Israel and Jews do not want casualties, whether they be Israeli or Palestinian. As Jews we want to live in peace with everyone, but like every country in the world Israel has a right to defend itself.
So please everyone out there, let’s make a difference and help Am Yisrael. See you in shul.
