2024

Chaim starts by talking about the Fall Feasts of the Lord, including the Day of Atonement and Succot.

Chaim starts the video by reminding his viewers that it is the one-year anniversary of the October 7th massacre by Hamas that started this current war, and he’s been mobilized into the IDF to fight in that war almost from the very beginning. The war is not settling down, on the contrary, it’s heating up, with Iran getting directly involved with a large strike using ballistic missiles and Israel getting ready to hit back hard.

Chaim starts the video by asking his viewers to join him in paying respects to several IDF soldiers who have fallen in battle recently. He also wants to take a moment to remember that it was 51 years ago, on Yom Kippur, that the combined attack came from the Egyptian army in the south and the Syrian army on the Golan Heights.

Chaim starts the video by saying that he is back in the Galilee after a brief visit to Lebanon, where Hezbollah is continuing to fire rockets into Israel, adding to the over 9,000 they’ve already fired since October 8th, 2023, when they decided to join the war against Israel that Hamas started with their massacre the day before.

Chaim starts the video by saying it’s almost sundown and he’s thinking about the last year, almost all of which he’s been serving in his IDF unit in the Gaza Strip, and he’s thinking about all the effort that’s gone into finding the hostages and other missions in Gaza.

Chaim says he’s in Galilee, and he can hear the booms from constant rocket interceptions and it’s very different from the feeling he had in Gaza. He also mentions the increased terrorist attacks, including stabbing attacks, so it’s very important to always stay vigilant.

Chaim starts the video by saying it’s October 7th 2024 and he rhetorically asks how one can even put into words all the horrors that the last year has seen. He lists some of those horrors, highlighting the taking of hostages by Hamas. He asks his viewers to keep praying for the return of the hostages. He also asks for continued prayers for the safety of people under fire and the soldiers in combat, as well as for wisdom for the leaders who have to make decisions.

Chaim starts the video by pointing out that the October 7th War started on the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Yom Kippur War, and that should make us pause and think about what we need to repent of. He also explains some other Jewish traditions like giving to charity (and he takes the opportunity to invite his viewers to give to the Aliyah Return Center charity) and he also talks about the tradition of reading the Torah, which is always a good thing to do.

Chaim starts by saying he hopes that his viewers are enjoying the High Holidays before paying his respects to the IDF soldiers who have fallen in recent battles against terrorists.

Chaim starts off the video by rhetorically asking if the world is going to condemn Iran for launching its massive barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, and he asks his viewers to put a comment saying they stand with Israel. He then lists the names of the IDF soldiers who have already fallen in battle in Lebanon, and he also talks about how it was when the Iranian missiles came in. Lots of erroneous reports and rumors and speculations immediately began flying around, including about a terrorist takeover of a floor of a hotel in Herzliya. There was also the ACTUAL terrorist shooing attack in Jaffa that claimed 7 victims (and one of the gunmen also died after security forces shot him, while the other gunman survived getting shot and was arrested.)
