A New Prayer for Soldiers Before Entering Gaza

A new prayer—unique in its importance—from The Rav, the holy Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, for our soldiers before entering Gaza

An obligation, as a matter of saving lives, to spread to all sectors

Master of the World, You are all-powerful. You know that we are giving over our lives for the sake of the People of Israel and the Land of Israel, and that at every moment and every second we are literally in mortal danger.

We beg of You, Hashem our God and God of our fathers, that You guard us from every danger, as it is written: “Behold, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps.”

And let not even the fingernail of any Jew be harmed in such a perilous time—such a dangerous period as has not existed for the People of Israel since time immemorial.

And we, the soldiers of Israel, are risking our lives and placing the lives of our wives, our little children, and our infants in jeopardy, in order to protect the People of Israel—so that no Jew, God forbid, should be harmed. Have mercy at this time on all who are found—whether in captivity, whether at sea, whether on land, whether in the air—and bring them out from darkness to light, from bondage to Geulah. Let no Jewish man and no Jewish woman be harmed; no boy and no girl; no infant boy and no infant girl. And consider this war as the War of Gog and Magog, after which the Beis HaMikdash of fire will immediately be built, and the Kingdom of the House of David will arise and rule over the entire world. Then the complete Geulah will come speedily in our days, Amen—forever, selah, and ever.
