Day 338 Swords of Iron – “Against all Odds”
Chaim starts by stating that everyone has a historical experience and Israel’s historical experience has been wonderful but also including some very sad episodes. But even the sad episodes often included an element of overcoming great odds.
He cites examples from the Bible including Moses, Joshua and Gideon, who had to be patient and trust God in all kinds of confusing and scary circumstances.
He also talks about David, facing Goliath with faith that God would give him victory.
He also mentions King Hezekiah and Elijah the Prophet, who had faith that God would allow them to overcome the great odds against them. He mentions several other heroes of the faith in the Old Testament, and then the scene shifts to him participating in Shabbat prayers with some other soldiers from his unit. The video ends with these soldiers thanking the viewers for their generosity in giving to the Aliyah Return Center so the ARC can purchase gear that makes their job much easier.
