Found on page 26 of the Jewish Press this week:
Today our hearts are pounding in fear. Who of us will die? And who will return safely? We are fighting so you and all our people can live peacefully. We are your protection. Will you be ours?
We are going on our dangerous mission knowing some of us will not come back. We are going with dedication and devotion. We are asking you to be our protection with your prayers. Protect us by going above and beyond yourselves in Torah and mitzvot.
Pray for us. Pray that you won't see another mother burying her son. Pray that you won't see our wives as widows raising our children in tears. Pray that our children will grow up knowing who their fathers are. Pray that we will eliminate the terrorists who aim to destroy us, and that we will not injure innocent women and children.
Please, we are begging you, as you are reading this...say a chapter of Tehillim...take upon yourselves another good deed. And please pass this on. I'm certain that your prayer will make a difference.
Remember, we are in it together. We are on the front lines carrying the weapons and you are fighting along with us in your prayers. Each word of your prayer gives us strength, protection and success.
My own note: I was thinking of editing this because the first lines admit to fear. But in the end, I transcribed the letter verbatim. Torah means the Bible. Mitzvot means good deeds. Tehillim means the Psalms.
