And let all who take refuge in You rejoice; may they forever shout for joy, and You shall shelter them, and let all who love Your name exult in You.
PSALMS (5:12)

וְיִשְׂמְחוּ כָל חוֹסֵי בָךְ לְעוֹלָם יְרַנֵּנוּ- וְתָסֵךְ עָלֵימוֹ
וְיַעְלְצוּ בְךָ אֹהֲבֵי שְׁמֶךָ
תהילים ה:יב

v'-yis-m'-khu khol kho-say vakh l'-o-lam y'-ra-nay-nu v'-ta-saykh a-lay-mo v'-ya-l'-tzu v'-kha o-ha-vay sh'-me-kha Despite all the threats surrounding the State of Israel, Israeli citizens consistently rate high in global surveys measuring happiness. The key to that happiness is found in this verse: “all that take refuge in You rejoice.” Israelis have no choice but to rely on the salvation of God, and by placing their trust in the Lord they achieve true happiness. The brave soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces combine faith in the Almighty with extraordinary efforts to defend and protect the people of the Holy Land. While the rest of the nation celebrates the Jewish New Year at home with their families, our brave soldiers stand guard to protect and defend the citizens of the Land.
Rabbi
