Ben Kerido / From Israel with Love
The State of Israel is under attack. On October 7, barbaric Hamas terrorists broke through the fence with Gaza, brutally tortured and killed more than 1500 innocent people and took over 240 men, women, and children as hostages. In the hours following the attack, Israel launched a campaign to rid the world of the evil terrorist organization. Since then, dozens of antisemitic protests have taken place across the world calling for both the death of Israel and the death of America. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, if the State of Israel falls, the rest of the western world will be the next target of Hamas. In such moments, it is paramount that we connect with the Almighty Creator through prayer.
Join us as we pray for the State of Israel
In traditional Judaism, we have a practice of chanting and reciting Tehillim (Psalms) as a prayer. The concept is that we can align ourselves with the intense, heartfelt words and raw, tangible emotion of King David (or other authors). And in that mode we present our request to the Most High. We also receive encouragement and rebuild our hope, striving to trust wholly and completely in the Holy One, Blessed Be He. Please help us pray for strength of the Israel Defense Forces and for the security and protection of the State of Israel. Ben Kerido, who is serving in the IDF, will recite Tehillim (Psalms) near the front lines with Gaza.

Tehillim (Psalm) 46
1 For the Leader; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah; upon Alamoth. A Song.
2 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
3 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth do change, and though the mountains be moved into the heart of the seas;
4 Though the waters thereof roar and foam, though the mountains shake at the swelling thereof. Selah
5 There is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holiest dwelling-place of the Most High.
6 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, at the approach of morning.
7 Nations were in tumult, kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.
8 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah
9 Come, behold the works of the LORD, who hath made desolations in the earth.
10 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariots in the fire.
11 ‘Let be, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’
12 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our high tower. Selah
א לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי-קֹרַח– עַל-עֲלָמוֹת שִׁיר.
ב אֱלֹהִים לָנוּ, מַחֲסֶה וָעֹז; עֶזְרָה בְצָרוֹת, נִמְצָא מְאֹד.
ג עַל-כֵּן לֹא-נִירָא, בְּהָמִיר אָרֶץ; וּבְמוֹט הָרִים, בְּלֵב יַמִּים.
ד יֶהֱמוּ יֶחְמְרוּ מֵימָיו; יִרְעֲשׁוּ הָרִים בְּגַאֲוָתוֹ סֶלָה.
ה נָהָר–פְּלָגָיו, יְשַׂמְּחוּ עִיר-אֱלֹהִים; קְדֹשׁ, מִשְׁכְּנֵי עֶלְיוֹן.
ו אֱלֹהִים בְּקִרְבָּהּ, בַּל-תִּמּוֹט; יַעְזְרֶהָ אֱלֹהִים, לִפְנוֹת בֹּקֶר.
ז הָמוּ גוֹיִם, מָטוּ מַמְלָכוֹת; נָתַן בְּקוֹלוֹ, תָּמוּג אָרֶץ.
ח יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ; מִשְׂגָּב-לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה.
ט לְכוּ-חֲזוּ, מִפְעֲלוֹת יְהוָה– אֲשֶׁר-שָׂם שַׁמּוֹת בָּאָרֶץ.
י מַשְׁבִּית מִלְחָמוֹת, עַד-קְצֵה הָאָרֶץ:
קֶשֶׁת יְשַׁבֵּר, וְקִצֵּץ חֲנִית; עֲגָלוֹת, יִשְׂרֹף בָּאֵשׁ.
יא הַרְפּוּ וּדְעוּ, כִּי-אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהִים; אָרוּם בַּגּוֹיִם, אָרוּם בָּאָרֶץ.
יב יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ; מִשְׂגָּב-לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה.
