The delegation of shluchim from USA, Canada and Australia who joined a solidarity mission to Eretz Yisroel gathered at the Kosel for a tefilah, joined by Israel’s Chief Rabbi David Lau.
Consisting of 28 shluchim, the delegation landed in Eretz Yisroel on Monday morning on a special mission to uplift, comfort and console the soldiers, the injured, and the bereaved families.
In coordination with Chabad in Israel, the group is scheduled to spend a few days in Israel visiting soldiers, the wounded recovering in hospitals, broken families who have lost their homes, families in mourning or awaiting the fate of their loved ones in captivity, and government officials.
The visit was arranged in line with Rebbe sending shluchim after Kfar Chabad terror in 5716. Then, a horrific terrorist attack in Kfar Chabad left the Jewish people in Israel devastated and the Rebbe sent a special group of shluchim to uplift them and raise their spirits.
The shluchim recited Tehillim for the healing of all the injured, Yizkor (memorial prayers) for all the victims and prayers for the safe return of all the hostages.
Tefillos were led by Chief Rabbi of Israel, Rabbi David Lau, Rabbi of the Western Wall, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch, and a delegation of shluchim from the United States.
Following the Tehillim and tefilos for the hostages, injured and IDF soldiers, the shluchim sang ‘Ani Ma’amin’ together and then began singing ‘Hoshia es Amecha’, offering a tefilah through a song that Hashem save and protect His people.
