ב"ה
וּקְשַׁרְתָּם לְאוֹת עַל יָדֶךָ וְהָיוּ לְטֹטָפֹת בֵּין עֵינֶיךָ (דברים ו, ח)
And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for a reminder between your eyes. (Devarim 6:8)

The Tefillin Line of Attack

The commandment of Tefilin appears twice in Shemos (13:9 & 16) - immediately upon the exodus from Egypt, and twice in Devarim (here and 11:18) - as Bnei Yisrael prepared to enter the Land of Israel forty years later. In Shemos, the Tefilin of the arm and the head are stated as one unified act: the head and arm Tefilin together "shall be to you as a sign upon your hand and as a remembrance between your eyes". In Devarim, on the other hand, the head and arm Tefilin each have a distinct command: "you shall bind them... and they shall be..."

The Talmud (Berachos 6a) declares, "It is written: 'And all the peoples of the earth will see that the name of G-d is called upon you, and they will fear you (Devarim 28:10),' and it has been taught: R. Eliezer the Great says: This refers to the Tefilin of the head". The role of the arm Tefilin, in this regard, is only to facilitate the head Tefilin; only after the arm Tefilin are wrapped, may the head Tefilin be donned. Their effect  is one: to frighten away our enemies, such that they don't even wage any battle against us. Therefore, both Tefilin are stated as one command in Shemos, when the conquest of the Land of Israel was still intended to be led by Moshe – with no battle at all. As Bnei Yisrael sang then, "All the inhabitants of Canaan melted. May dread and fright fall upon them; with the arm of Your greatness may they become as still as a stone… (Shemos 15:15-16)."

We are told though of another effect of Tefilin which is similar, but not quite the same.  "By fulfilling the mitzvah to wear the Tefilin on the arm and on the head, those going to war will see the fulfillment of Moshe's  blessing (to the warriors of Gad, Devarim 33:20) "may he tear off the arm of his prey and its head in one blow (Rabbeinu Asher, Laws of Tefilin 15)." If the enemies have not been scared off and they wage a battle against you, their fighters will be utterly devastated by the Jewish armies. We see in this instance, however, that once it's come down to war, the arm and the head Tefilin must each contribute their unique blow. Therefore, in Devarim, when Moshe knew that the conquest of the Land would be through natural means of warfare led by Yehoshua, the blows to be delivered through the merit of the Tefilin were stated separately: "you shall bind them as a sign upon your arm, and they shall be for a reminder between your eyes."

Miracle of Azrieli Towers! Operation Protective Edge

ONLY IN ISRAEL MOMENT: The Shema prayer on the side of the Azrieli Towers  Posted on 7/13/2014 by Eliyokim Cohen

Miracle of Azrieli Towers:
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2014 14:18:00 -0700
From: youngisraelworcester@yahoo.com
Subject: Guardian of Israel
To:

A true and amazing story told by Ohad Shaked. It came to us through Itchie Traube.  Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi relates:

I received a phone call on Sunday from “A,” one of the Iron Dome commanders who was a student of mine about 6 years ago. I was glad he called. “Where can a person learn Torah in Ramat Gan?” He asked me leaving me baffled being that he was far from Torah and mitzvot. "I'm going to be released in a couple of months, and I want to learn in a Yeshiva - I saw the Almighty with my own eyes!” He said, nothing more and nothing less. “What happened?” I asked him. “A Missile was fired from Gaza. The Iron Dome can detect where the missile is going to fall within a 200 meter radius. This particular Missile was heading to the Azrieli Towers, or to the railroad tracks. Either way, hundreds could have paid with their lives!

We sent the first “dome” and it missed. Then the second as well as the third dome missed, this is a very rare occurrence. To date, only two other such cases occurred. I was in shock! We had four seconds until there is no way back and the missile would hit. We had already informed and dispatched emergency services, the police and the fire department, to the location.” Then the commander spoke excitedly as I kept on listening. "Suddenly, without any preliminary design from the Iron Dome system (which calculates the possible wind currents, etc.) a strong eastern wind blew – a wind that we have no idea where it came from and cast the missile right into the sea. We were all in shock!!! I stood up and started screaming ‘There is a G-d’! ‘There is a G-d!’ ‘There is a G-d’!!! I saw this miracle with my own eyes. No one told me about it, it was not reported to me. I saw the Hand of Hashem fling the missile into the sea!
Of course this was not reported for security reasons, but it’s enough to witness the miracles with our own eyes to know there is Hashem (G-d). I ran to one of the religious soldiers and asked him to put on tefillin. I took it upon myself to keep Shabbat, and that was the very best Shabbat I have ever had.” This is what he told me. I was so excited that it even brought a tear to my eye. "Ashrecha” (praiseworthy are you) I said to him, “that you merited to witness this incident and to understand that it’s from Hashem (G-d)!”

A Concert and a Kinus Tefillah for Israel. Wednesday August 6th Brooklyn Unites for Israel 6-8pm and Agudath Kinus Tefillah on Wednesday 6:30pm

bs"d

Dear Friends and Lovers of Eretz Yisroel, amv"sh

There is a concert and Kinus Tefilla unfortunately scheduled the same time this coming Wednesday night in Brooklyn. The Concert will reflect the spirit of the Nation United for Israel.  Hopefully the singers and the crowd will be acknowledging the open miracles Hashem has been performing for Am Yisroel.  Am Yisroel Chai, Od Avinu CHai, Acheinu Beis Yisroel..., Vehaikar Lo Lefached Klal, Mitzvah Gedolah Lihiyaot BeSimcha.  We have reason to be happy becasue Hashem is with us every single minute by our side, watching us!!!  The Tefillin reminds of the great Miracles of Egypt and the Exodus when G-d performed miracles for His people openly as He has been doing for Israel now and in the past.  Miracles of the formation of the State of Israel out of the ashes of the Holocaust after 2000 years of living in the Diaspora we can now go to Eretz Yisroel, of the 1967 War where we have reclaimed Yerushalyim, Yehuda and Shomron and all the Mekomos HaKedoshim, of the growth of a beautiful country which is our pride and joy. Operation Protective Shield foiled a Rosh Hashana Massacre and that alone is reason to celebrate not to mention the almost 3,000 rocket falling over Israel with barely any casualties.  Each and every miracle where there is no casualty is reason to celebrate.  Each time a rocket hits their own targets aimed at Israel is a reason to celebrate.  True over 60 of our best soldiers have fallen and we must be introspective how come our Tefillot have failed to protect these soldiers.  Surely Israel's reluctance to hit civilian human shields and its willingness to  buckle under international pressure to accept "humanitarian cease fires" even when they are only under false pretenses has contributed to Israel's losses.Hashem Yerachem...

Here is a rough translation of the The Tefila Kinus flier which  is more fitting for a Tisha Baav program.  It emphasizes the terrible situation in Eretz Yisroel where blood is being spilt like water by our enemies who want to  kill and destroy the vineyard of G-d's House, May G-d have mercy on us.  They are calling upon the entire community in shuls and in study halls to increase their prayers and supplications in this hour of distress.  They call upon all not to go out and enjoy going on vacation but rather to participate in the pain of our brethren and to increase Repentance, Prayer and Charity which will nullify the evil decrees. The purpose is to cry out to Hashem to save Hashem's nation and to protect the Chayalim who are risking their lives. Mincha is 6:30 sharp in "The Palace" 780 McDonald Ave. corner Ditmas and there will be a special ladies section.  G-d should protect One Nation, watch over the remnant of One Nation, Who Unites under Your Name Hashem is Our G-d Hashem is One.  

My comments:

I wish both events would merge into One as a display of true Unity!!!!!!
