Reply To: Pillar Of Defense

Mosh3, you are correct that in Hebrew it is called Amud Anan, the English name is Pillar of Defense (Pillar of cloud doesn’t sound so good in English).

Anyway, of course everyone is correct that we need to do teshuva, tzedaka and tefillah. But my point was what we should do in addition. For example, many people where I live are hosting Jews that live in southern Israel. If you live across the ocean and that isn’t possible there are other ways to reach out to fellows Jews and let them know you care. You can visit websites of businesses in southern Israel and buy their products. You can try to find pen(email)-pals (there are organizations that can help you find), or many other things you can do to show support.
