After a brutal terrorist attack on the holy students of Yashlatz and Merkaz HaRav, many of us are asking ourselves: What can we possibly do?
Rav Kook, the founder of the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva had given the answer long ago:
“-The purely righteous do not complain about evil, rather they add justice.
-They do not complain about heresy, rather they add faith.
-They do not complain about ignorance, rather they add wisdom. ”
Arpilei Tohar p. 39
Every time a person dies, we say kaddish for him. The Kaddish expressed the greatness of God. Why should such a prayer be recited when a person dies?
Because the Jewish response to tragedy is to build on the destruction, the fill the void with holiness.
We have seen evil around us today, and we will respond with hope.
I want this post to be more than just a post you just read. Soon I will come up with a fundraiser or a practical project that we can all participate in order to respond to this evil with a strong message of hope. I’m open to suggestions so please send me messages with your suggestions

Since the eight went to the Yeshiva Le Maala, we should study here what they study there.
What subject do you think they are focusing on?
One sense i have got is that they study all the military operations in Tanach, starting with Abraham’s war to redeem Lot.
It is a very large Torah that needs to be studied in a yeshiva made just for this.
