The Beis Din Rabbonei Chabad of Eretz Yisroel is calling for Wednesday, Erev Rosh Chodesh Shevat, to be designated as a day of tefilla after one of the deadliest days of the Gaza War.

Nine IDF soldiers were killed in three incidents in Gaza on Monday, with eight soldiers wounded in the explosion which is believed to have been caused by explosives intended for the demolition of an underground arms manufacturing facility.

In their letter to the global Chabad community the rabbonim make the following suggestions:

1) To increase in saying Tehillim kapitalech 20, 22, 69, 122, 150, preferably with a minyan after Shachris or Mincha. Increase in giving tzedaka together with the Tehillim, in accordance with the Rebbe’s instructions.

2) To strengthen the study of all set shiurim, especially Chitas and Rambam, and to especially add in Inyonei Geulah U’Moshiach.

3) To add in tzdaka thorough the day.

4) Schools should organize weekly gatherings for Torah, Tefillah and Tzedaka, and each class should add

5) To strengthen the holy mivtzoim. Especially mivtza Tefillin, and letters in the Sifrei Torah for children and adults.

6) To strengthen in Ahavas Yisroel in all places and especially among Anash communities.

The letter was signed by Harav Yitzchok Yehuda Yaroslavsky (Kiryat Malachi), Harav Avrohom Michoel Halperin (Yerushalayim), Harav Menachem Mendel Gluckowsky (Rechovot), Harav Yochanan Gurary (Cholon), Harav Yosef Hecht (Eilat), Harav Moshe Havlin (Kiryat Gat) and Harav Yisroel Hendel (Migdal Haemek).
