Having once witnessed the chilling power of missiles during a Blue Angels show, I was struck by an unexpected connection between these weapons of destruction and the spiritual realm. Let's embark together on a journey where we interpret the Hebrew word for missiles, "telem," and its transformation into "tehillim" or praises to God. We'll trace the echoes of history, connecting the year 1948, Abraham's birth, the founding of Israel, and a conflict where such 'holy missiles' were utilized. Uncover the fascinating intersections of physical force and spiritual power and the profound insights that an in-depth study of the Torah can reveal about our world today.

We'll then veer our course towards the pillar of Jewish tradition - hospitality. Drawing from the wisdom of our forebears, we'll discuss the philosophy of "saying little and doing a lot" in the context of welcoming strangers into our homes. Following this thread, we'll reflect on the recent terrorist attack in Israel and its reverberations within the Jewish community, underscoring the pressing need for strong Jewish roots. We'll end our journey by investigating the trials and triumphs of adversity and how we can harness the power of spiritual missiles, our prayers, to counter the negativity and violence plaguing our world. Come, let's explore these complex ideas together.
