Times in Eretz Yisrael are tough. This week, 50% of the country found themselves under attack. People in Yerushalayim and Tel Aviv needed to run for cover from missiles. All of the Jewish world stands in unity with our brethren across Eretz Yisrael and are fervently praying and learning Torah in the merit of seeing peace return to the Land of Israel.

Below, are a number of free resources that may be of interest at this time. We pray that we will see a speedy return to a safe reality for all those living in Eretz Yisrael!
