In a special pre-Pesach interview , Rabbi Israel Meir Lau, the former Chief Rabbi of Israel and Rabbi of Tel Aviv, spoke to Arutz Sheva and stressed that the interception of the Iranian attack on Israel is not the only miracle, but also the fact that an international coalition stood by Israel.

“It is by God’s grace that all these countries joined us in responding to the Iranian attack,” says Rabbi Lau, “the USA, England, to a certain extent France, and even Jordan, which on the one hand is our enemy and on the other hand fought with us.”
Rabbi Lau says that it is obvious that there was a common interest in this coalition, but even so, the Hand of God is visible here. “I understand why. We all have a common enemy; the Iranian threat, but everything is from heaven and suddenly all of these countries have a common enemy with us, and we are no longer isolated, nor alone in the face of this great danger.”
According to Rabbi Lau, “Hashem did us a great favor that 99% of all the UAVs were destroyed without harming us. There was only some damage to places, and no harm to people. This whole story was a great miracle, but we have yet to appreciate its magnitude. We experienced G-d’s true protection and this connection with the superpowers and our neighbors, as well as other details that are confidential, all I can say is that this was a great divine miracle.”
Leading Religious-Zionist rabbis have called on all communities in Israel to add a special prayer of thanksgiving in Shuls, reciting the Hallel Hagadol (Tehillim 136) in Shul.
The rabbis wrote that “This is the day which Hashem has made, let us rejoice therein. After the night of missiles and drones, we will all thank Hashem for the miracles he wrought for us in taking us out of Egypt and for those He performed this year. We call on all shuls to say on Shabbos day, Psalm 136- Hodo La’Hashem. Everyone should say it when the ark is open and thus we will be grateful to Hashem for all the good and kindness He has bestowed upon us.”
The less we talk is smarter. Because the children will immediately ask, if Hashem is so involved, why did he let the Rishaim kill 1200 of our brothers and sisters. And why all the terrorist attacks on pure innocence. Believe me, they will not let you get away with answers out of your hat.
Any person with a bite sized brain can realize that this was a test run by iran, god forbid if a nuke is attached to one of those missiles, shooting down a nuke doesn’t help as there is nuclear fallout, the world is trying to parade this as its a win for Israel, facts are Israel has never been closer to such an existential threat since its inception! Only hashem can save us! With freinds like biden who needs enemies and with weak leaders like bibi, no leader would prob be better, hashem yerachem israel is in major trouble,
