Asifa in Lakewood last night on the Matzav in Eretz Yisrael:

The Lakewood  R"Y Rav Malkiel spoke on the matzav in E"Y we have to be mishtatef batzaar and know that we must look inwards and strengthen ourselves in areas of weakness which through that will have others be mischazek in those areas  He quoted rav Shach that as much as it is our fault we get caught up in kochi veotzem yadi and  think that the IDF and  American ships will  protect us and  we daven to hashem that they should help us  but these thoughts enter our minds where we rely on them. During the Yom Kippur was r the R:Y said he was there in EY when the first few weeks  everyone saw the IDF was losing but after a few weeks as the tides turned in israel's favor the kochi veotzem yodi was back with words of Kochateinu" Yes the soldiers on the front lines are being moser nefesh but we have to go back to strengthen our emunah in Hashem. There are campaigns for tehillim for soldiers and say brachos  for them

 What we don't see is any campaign to daven for  the youngeleit they should be matzliach he continued if we would be stronger in  emunah the emunah of klal yisrael will be stronger  we also have a weakness of tznius the yesod of tznius is Pnima not going in public and on one hand we are doing great but there is still much to be rectified  such as long sheitels  that look like natural hair  with bright colors if we strengthen in this it would be a chizuk for all of klal yisroel.  Shabbos too we are shomer shabbos  but we rely on kulos such as relying on eruvin in some places  which became a weakness in the fire of shabbos so by them the chilul shabbos goes on in public. In the area of avodah zora there's a question of tikrovas avodah zora in certain clothing yes there are those who say it is not an issue but why do we take a chance  but where is our fear maybe there would not have been a concert where they danced with a buddah getchkeh R"L.  rambam says we have to be mechazek ourselves and it is in our hands to get rid of the gezirah and if not it adds others to not repent from their ways  .

- Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel spoke he said we are living in a very dangerous time not only in Eretz Yisrael but here in the US and all over the world antisemitism can flare up instantly and we can become a Germany overnight. The R"Y recounted that he got a phone call from a very choshuv talmmid chochom who is verssed in the writings of the vilna gaon that this shmini atzeres he a milchama will break out  and this will be the last step of gog umagog as the chofetz chaim said that the 1st ww was the beginning. he reiterated what a nes it was that the terrorissts  had maps of every single shul in the area and they knew the shuls were full on simchas torah with men women and children hashem  sent them to other places  we are living in this time of open nissim but it all depends on where we are holding. the churban of the internet has brought upon so many churbanos in klal yisrael even in the best miahpachos, thousands of people have fallen, even without the chatoim or aveiros   there is the bitul torah, the secular hashkafos  that we emulate. it is a churban and michshol we have to protect ourselves  texting pictures from a simcha publicizing itto the whole world this is the nisayon for us. and nmatter how big a excuse of parnassah or loss of money we justify to have it, it pales in comparicant to the sakana we are facing now we need a shmira our  job is to withstand this nisayon so it will save us.
