Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed in the face of the king of Assyria, for there is a Greater with us than with him. With him is human might, but with us is the Lord, our God, to help us and to fight our wars!
II CHRONICLES (32:7,8)
אַל תִּירְאוּ וְאַל תֵּחַתּוּ מִפְּנֵי מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וּמִלִּפְנֵי כָּל הֶהָמוֹן אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ כִּי עִמָּנוּ רַב מֵעִמּוֹ עִמּוֹ זְרוֹעַ בָּשָׂר וְעִמָּנוּ יְ-הוָה אֱ-לֹהֵינוּ לְעָזְרֵנוּ וּלְהִלָּחֵם מִלְחֲמֹתֵנוּ

Righteous King Hezekiah, one of the last kings of Judah during the times of the First Temple, encouraged the nation with the stirring words in today's verse. His faith was well-founded, and the next morning, they looked over the walls to see the once powerful Assyrian army devastated and dispersed, all without a fight (II Kings 19:35). May today's Defenders of Israel, the soldiers of the IDF, be blessed with the Almighty's protection "to help us and to fight our wars!"

The Israeli Air Force came to Auschwitz in a symbol of strength and determination, reflecting the effect of over 60 years of an independent State of Israel protected by the IDF.

In recent years, Christians living in countries such as Syria, Egypt, and Iraq have suffered extreme persecution. Israel stands in stark contrast, the only county in the region where Christians have total freedom.
