Bereshit 5784

My Thoughts 💡as everything changes before our eyes. Parshat Bereshit 5784💥

I heard an interview a few days ago (amongst the many classes and podcasts being given to strengthen and comfort each other) with Hillel Fuld. Hillel, from what I heard and understand, is an unofficial yet brave💪 spokesperson for Israel on social media; doing his part to spread light. Hillel’s brother Ari, a hero of Israel, was killed 💔in a terror attack five years ago in Gush Etzion. One of the points he stressed in the interview is that we all need to do our part to help. Whatever we can. We are all in this together. We need to spread light.🕯
Hearing Hillel inspired me to write and share some of our experience as we suddenly find ourselves at war.
There are many emotions we are experiencing, ups and downs. Confusion, fear. 🤯🤕 At the same time, inspiration and emunah are burning inside🔥. There is so much pain💔 about the horrific attacks, but the inspiration which has awakened inside the Jewish people is awesome and un-precented in recent times. The heart of the Jewish people is broken, but awake in an incredible way. The Jewish people have an incredible, above nature strength. The feeling of mutual care and unity is palpable.💖 We are Avraham’s children. Avraham shared the light of faith with the whole world. He walked his own path, without fear of what others thought or said. He gave that faith to us.🚀
We are living in a time where everything is changing in front of our eyes. It’s scary and awesome.
This is really a war of light versus darkness. Pure souls versus impurity. Good against evil. The truth is being revealed.
Our hearts are burning with pain, but this burning fire is causing us to wake up and do what we can for the Jewish people and the Geulah. The amount of spiritual awakening and chesed we have seen since the horror, both in Israel and abroad is incredible! Hard to describe. There are so many stories and so many heroes.
To quote from Mordechai Shapiro’s new song,  אני יהודי I am a Jew, “our faith burns inside us, this is a people which can’t be broken.”
Am Yisrael Chai!
