Comfort, oh comfort My people, says your God
Isaiah 40:1 (The Israel Bible™)

Hear the verse in Hebrew

na-kha-MU na-kha-MU a-MEE yo-MAR e-lo-hay-KHEM

Camp Comfort was born from God’s directive to comfort His children. The Children of Moshav Mevo Modiim need comfort. Just two months ago, their homes, and all of their possessions were destroyed by arons terrorists. While their friends are spending the summer vacation playing with toys, running around their yards, and swimming in backyard pools, the children of Moshav Mevo Modiim are passing the days in cramped temporary living quarters. Camp Comfort enables the traumatized children of Moshav Mevo Modiim to let loose, and enjoy being kids!!!

“Palestinian who saved Jewish kids after terror attack gets Israeli residency,” Times of Israel, August 7, 2019:

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri on Tuesday awarded Israeli residency to a Palestinian man who saved the children of a West Bank rabbi in the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in which the father was killed.

Rabbi Miki Mark was murdered in a July 1, 2016, shooting. His wife, Chava, was seriously injured, and their two teenage children were also hurt. The Palestinian rescuer and his wife, residents of the Hebron area, helped the surviving members of the Mark family escape their overturned vehicle and administered first aid until first responders arrived at the scene.

The Palestinian man, who has not been named, received a temporary visa to live and work in Israel after receiving death threats in his hometown near the West Bank city of Hebron.

However, the visa was not renewed in August 2018 and for the last year he was unable to work, becoming homeless and living in limbo in Israel.

After his plight was revealed recently in a Channel 12 report, and following a campaign by several Israelis, including settler leaders, he was awarded Israeli residency on Tuesday, along with his wife and son.

While presenting him his identity documents, Deri praised him for his “selfless, noble” actions and said he would now be able to begin a new life in Israel….

If I'm not mistaken, saw that broadcast about him.
The man accepted the yoke of Heaven, started wearing tzitzit, studying Torah and praying to the Rock of Israel all on his own - having nothing but a mattress by a tree and the open sky to sleep under, all while being hunted by his village residents and family members.

Glad to hear the news!

Divine Refuge

FEATURED PHOTO: IDF soldiers gather for training in the Golan Heights (Shutterstock).
Hashem is our refuge and stronghold, a help in trouble, very near
Psalms 46:1 (The Israel Bible™)

Hear the verse in Hebrew

e-lo-HEEM LA-nu ma-kha-SEH va-OZ ez-RAH v’-tza-ROT nim-TZA m’-OD

This coming Sunday is Tisha B'Av, the fast of the Ninth of Av. This is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar as we commemorate the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem along with countless other atrocities committed against the Jewish People throughout history. The central ritual of Tisha B’Av is fasting- abstaining from eating and drinking- for 25 hours. While fasting is strenuous for everyone, it is all the more difficult for soldiers on active duty. While IDF soldiers are accustomed to standing guard in the heat for hours on end. Yet doing so while fasting is a different level of difficulty.
