Israelis struggle to go on amid
the carnage of terrorism and
scant hopes for peace.

A
s the Jewish homeland, our
beloved Israel, reels from
sniper attacks and suicide
bombings, the terrorists responsible
seem to be hoping they'll eventually
break the Israelis' resolve and ulti-
mately annihilate the Jewish state.
But they're a long way from suc-
ceeding, despite this week's rain of
terror.
For millennia, the Jewish people
have been amazingly resilient,
bouncing back stronger than ever
from slavery, banishment and death
camps. Today's Israelis are another
example of the strength of our peo-
ple in the wake of oppression.
Let us pray that they soon realize
their dream of secure borders and a
peaceful co-existence in the region.
Shabbat shalom!
