Let Hashem take care of His part in giving all terrorist the Hell they deserve, and let us do our part by getting into our box where we keep ourselves and —most importantly— our brothers and sisters safe. But an honest assessment of our actions may help us recognize that we may be feeding a false sense of purpose, as if by watching the horrors we are somehow easing the burden of a mourning mother R”L. As Hashem prepared to flood the world, He instructed Noach to build a ‫תיבה‬, an ark or box, so that he and his family could survive the devastating waters. It’s natural to be deeply interested (or even just curious) about the situation in Eretz Yisroel and to spend a lot of time following the news, WhatsApps and what not.

May Hashem comfort all those who are suffering, and may He give strength to those who are fighting and clarity to those who are making security decisions. The Baal Shem Tov explains that the word ‫צהר‬, which literally means glows or shines, is also a “window” into the secret of Jewish survival. Before entering into those boxes and allowing their content to flood our minds and hearts, let’s consider entering Hashem’s box, His holy words. Through our words of Torah and tefilah, we have the ability to transform any ‫צרה‬, crisis, into ‫צהר‬, a bright, glowing future.
