The Least We Can Do...

...and the best we can do:

Join the war effort and partner with a soldier throught the efforts of Operation Tefilah, Torah & Troops

"Endorsed and guided by Rav Simcha HaCohen Kook & the Bostoner Rebbe, each person who takes part in "Operation Tefilah, Torah & Troops" is paired with an Israeli soldier, and is responsible to daven, learn Torah, and do chesed on behalf of that soldier.

Rav Kook and the Bostoner Rebbe note that this concept is one that has been a part of the Jewish people for thousands of years. When Moshe Rabbeinu led the Jewish people to war with the nation of Midyon, for every person who went to battle, there was a designated person who was responsible for praying and learning for him. Throughout his reign, David HaMelech utilized this practice as well.

To participate in "Operation Tefilah, Torah & Troops" and receive the name of an Israeli soldier who needs your prayers, e-mail: maortlmo@gmail.com
