    Please, Hashem–watch over our חיילים–they are Your children too. This morning I went to pick up a breakfast in Boro Park on my way to work and was horrified to hear “one of ours” say something about “Tziyoinim”. Why? Even if you don’t agree with the politics, they still are אחינו בני ישראל–

    I am all for achdus, but in light of the conversation I must remark that Yosef Partuk was not Haredi but was religious. And we all know that Hashem is most concerned that we are shomer mitzvahs and not what kind of hat we wear.

    May his family be comforted and may this be the last Jew that has to die in the name of their terrorism.
