We live in Israel and our son is in Yeshiva in a city different from ours, and I worry about him, about the others in the family who travel, about the kids who walk to schools close to where the Arabs are building…
But it is obvious that each bullet has a destination. If Hashem wants it to happen, it will happen, no matter if you are in the States, in Israel, or in China.
A story is circulating about a man on bus 422 (Yerushalayim/Bnei Brak on road 443) who saw a young suspicious arab get on his bus. He was very nervous and was contemplating getting off the next stop, etc, when he decided that he will learn the whole way and that will be a protection from all harm.
At Shilat junction, the Arab pressed the button to get off the bus, and as he was about to go down the steps, he opened his backpack, took out a knife, and said aloud to the passengers – this time I chose not to use it…. and then got off the bus.
May Hashem watch over everyone, wherever they are.
We all have to better ourselves (not others, but ourselves)so that we will see the yeshua.
