As the sun set on another Shabbas, the alarming news that Iran had entered the conflict with a barrage of missiles and drones transformed our peaceful respite into a scene from a harrowing war movie. Witnessing the launch of these weapons, akin to fiery school buses, the severity of this new reality hits close to home. In our latest episode, we grapple with the impact of this escalation on everyday life—shuttered synagogues, disrupted routines, and the constant reminder that safety is a fragile luxury. Through personal reflections, we explore the emotional toll of living under the cloud of war and the difficulty in maintaining faith in such trying times.

Amidst the chaos, we also find inspiration in the words of the Ponevezher Rav, Reb Yitzchak Yaakov Rabinovich, whose insights into divine intervention during perilous times offer a glimmer of hope. We discuss the miracles that spared countless lives, as hundreds of missiles miraculously missed their mark and the sobering fact that every moment of our existence is part of a greater orchestration. This episode is a call to recognize the unseen miracles, to lean into prayer and hope, and to hold firmly onto the belief that each narrow escape is a testament to a higher power at work. Join us for a poignant conversation that reaffirms the power of faith and the human spirit in the face of relentless adversity.
