Chaim starts by talking about how the tunnels Hamas dug under the ground in Gaza are being found and demolished one after the other, and the terrorists that were hiding in them are either being eliminated or surrendering. Meanwhile, Chaim sees miracles happening in this war, including an incident in Syria where a bullet lodged in the helmet of a soldier instead of penetrating. These small miracles let Chaim know that we’re winning and on the right track.

Chaim starts by saying he has a message for the people of Gaza, just as the Prophet Jonah had a message for the people of Ninevah “change your ways.”

Chaim starts by describing an anti-terrorist operation that the IDF recently carried out in southern Syria which resulted in a firefight that left six IDF soldiers wounded, but over 20 terrorists were terminated. This is just one indication of the large and growing threat to Israel that is building on the northern border region. Although Syria’s interim President Abu Muhammed Al Jolani was at the White House in a suit and tie recently, it is widely understood that he is not really in full control of what happens in many places inside Syria, and the border region south of Damascus is at best semi-governed. Many terrorist groups are setting up shop there, and Israel has to contend with that issue.

Chaim starts by saying that he’s addressing them from the Aliyah Return Center which is on the shores of the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River, and he wants to say a big thank you to all the supporters of the ARC. Being grateful is a big part of who the Jewish people and the nation of Israel are, and giving thanks to God for all He has done for us is woven into the fabric of everyday life.
