Ya’asher Koach
Chuni and Leah Rappaport’s son, Eliezer ben Leah Hinda, has been called up as a paratrooper to enter Gaza. He’s with his unit. Our prayers are for him, his unit, and all of Am Yisrael to come back safely.
We also recognize Captain Shaya Weidmann serving in the Israeli Army and his brother, David Weidmann, in the Israeli Air Force. Rabbi Cheses’ younger brother, Doron, is stationed in the north. May these 4 young men have hatzlacha, safety, and courage. The Israel Defense Forces is very fortunate to have these soldiers sincere dedication and our hearts.
