Day 200 Swords of Iron – “Reedeemer in the Reeds”

Chaim starts the video by saying that his home in the Galilee is a beautiful place, and in just a few hours he’ll be leaving it to head back to the IDF and preparations for the next move in the Gaza Strip which will probably be a move into the city of Rafah.

He talks briefly about the Passover seder meal he was able to lead the previous evening at the Aliyah Return Center and how it occurred to him that the plagues that God sent on Egypt were not only meant to persuade Pharoah to “Let my people go” but they were meant to free Egypt, and the whole world, from the bondage of worshipping false gods and idols.

He also says that at the moment there’s massive flooding in different parts of Iran, and this is causing tremendous hardship there. He asks, rhetorically, if this might be a type of Divine judgement on that country for abusing Israel. He also reminds his viewers once again of the Passover miracle that saw almost all the missiles Iran fired at Israel being intercepted and causing very little damage.

Chaim reminds his viewers of Micah 7:15; “As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt, I will show them wonders.”

He also quotes Psalms 78:42; They did not remember His power: The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,

Chaim speaks about some of the miraculous events of deliverance that accompanied that first Passover, including the parting of the Reed Sea. There was also the parting of the Jordan River a generation later, when the Children of Israel finally made it into the Promised Land.

Chaim also speaks about the prayer which was written by the chief rabbi of Tel Aviv for the return of the hostages held in Gaza, and he says that there will be peace once again in this Land. He says that just as in the days of Moses and Jethro, Ruth and Naomi, there will once again be those gentiles who join their fate to the House of Israel.

He concludes by thanking his viewers for joining him in praying for this peace to be in the Land of Israel.

(Day 563) Swords of Iron – “Drive Terror Out”

Chaim starts by saying he remembers the day he got the call to come to his IDF reserve unit because the war was starting and he was needed. He talks about others he knows who did the same, even though many of them were very busy and had a lot going on, they all dropped what they were doing and ran to join their units. They all thought it would be a short war like so many others before it, but this war has lasted over a year and a half and there’s no end in sight.

(Day 562) Swords of Iron – “Fell in the line of duty”

Chaim starts by saying it’s always tragic when the IDF suffers casualties, and he honors Warrant Officer G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra, 35, of Rahat, who was killed in action over the weekend. Several other soldiers were wounded in the attack, which occurred in an area that was believed to have been cleared of hostile actors, but Hamas had a tunnel that had not been demolished yet and some Hamas guys popped up out of that tunnel and fired an RPG at an IDF vehicle and then later as a rescue vehicle was headed towards the scene Hamas detonated an IED and inflicted more casualties.

(Day 561) Swords of Iron – “Name a Hero of yours”

Chaim starts the video by asking his viewers to leave a comment talking about who their heroes are. He then tells the story of one of his personal heroes, Fredreich Bonhoofer, who was a pastor in Germany who publicly stood against the Nazi regime and was also involved in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944. His great legacy is that although he was a pacifist, he said that to not take action in the face of evil, and to not speak out in the face of evil, was to support evil and to become evil.
