We are living in a world filled with hatred and antisemitism. The darkness surrounds us, but within it, there is a spark of light. A soul awakens, bursting forth with power.
Recently, I had the honor of hosting an event for my Hineni Young Leadership group, where young professionals gather to study Torah and find inner strength to face life’s challenges.
During this event, we heard from Roi and Adan Assaraf, two brothers who survived a tragic event. Their stories were harrowing, recounting the day they faced terrorists and stared death in the face. Despite the trauma, they chose to embrace life and turn to Torah and mitzvot.
As we listened to their experiences and saw their dedication to their faith, our souls were stirred. Their journey touched us deeply, reminding us of the resilience and beauty of our nation.
Though we may be hurting, our souls are on fire with the strength and spirit of our people. We are a beautiful nation, capable of rising above the darkness that surrounds us.
