- Top Israeli political pundit: '45% of the fallen soldiers are religious' Amit Segal breaks his silence, noting that the religious Zionist sector is not given enough credit for its part in the war. "And no one even mentions it. No one says 'Maybe what we thought about those 'crazy' people on the hills in Judea and Samaria, with side curls, tzitzit, and an Uzi submachine gun, maybe we should stop and think again.' Forget it, you don't even have to think again, you don't even have to stop evacuating outposts; just say that sentence."

- October 7th Miracle!  from Binyamin, who spoke in a video who is originally from France
On October 7th, the holiday of Simchas Torah, two Hamas terrorists arrived at a synagogue and listened in, waiting to find the right moment to massacre the entire congregation inside. However, they were surprised to encounter complete silence when listening in from the doorway. Especially given that their own mosque services are typically very loud, with sounds expressed every few seconds, they assumed the building was empty, and didn’t bother even entering, choosing instead to move on to find a more populated building to attack. However, that synagogue was actually full of Jews!
Once the holiday ended later that evening, the Rabbi and members of the synagogue reviewed the synagogue’s cameras and observed the two terrorists at the door who paused to listen and then mysteriously left. Upon checking the time, it happened to coincide exactly with the point in the prayer service when all the synagogue members were praying the “Silent Amidah” (Shemonah Esrai).
Binyamin, the young man in this video (who is originally from France), was the chazzan and shared with the congregation that just before Rosh Hashanah , he had sought a blessing from his Rebbi in Bnei Brak, the Rebbe of Tchernobil.

The Rabbi encouraged him to pray with a deeper focus and to double the time he spent in his Silent Amidah, which according to the camera timing, may very well have ended up saving not only his life, but the lives of his entire community!
