Even in the face of what would otherwise seem impossible, God keeps every promise He makes …

Amos 9:14-15, “… I will bring my people Israel back from exile. ‘They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them,’ says the LORD your God.”

By Stuart Winer, The Times of Israel – “An Orthodox infantry brigade says that divine miracles protected his soldiers during the fighting in the Gaza Strip. Givati Brigade commander Col. Ofer Winter, who made the claims in an interview with the ultra-Orthodox weekly Mishpacha, met with criticism recently for rallying his troops with religious messages.

Winter lauded the importance of yeshiva students studying Torah as beneficial for the war effort.

‘Especially in a time of war, when there is a strong urge to join the fighting forces, we need to emphasize that what the Jewish people need is yeshiva students who will sit and study Torah with greater strength and courage,’ Winter said in the interview, which is to be published this weekend and was previewed by the website NRG on Thursday. ‘Learning Torah protects the Jewish people more than anything else.’

Ultra-Orthodox rabbis have called off summer vacation in their 8yeshivas in solidarity with the soldiers fighting in Gaza.

Winter claimed to have witnessed a miraculous occurrence, the likes of which he had never seen before during his military career.

He said that a predawn raid that was intended to make use of the dark as concealment was delayed, forcing the soldiers to move toward their objective as the sun was about to rise. The soldiers were in danger of being revealed in the light but, Winter recalled, a heavy fog descended to cover their movements until the objective was achieved.

‘Suddenly a cloud protected us,’ he said, make a reference to the clouds that the Bible says protected the Israelites as they wandered in the desert. ‘Clouds of glory.’

Only when the soldiers were in a secure position did the fog dissipate, he said.

‘It really was a fulfillment of the verse ‘For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to give you victory,’’ he said, quoting a passage from Deuteronomy…

Winter made headlines over an official dispatch he sent to battalion and company commanders on July 9, telling his subordinates that ‘history has chosen us to spearhead the fighting (against) the terrorist ‘Gazan’ enemy which abuses, blasphemes and curses the God of Israel’s (defense) forces.’

In the missive he also called upon ‘the God of Israel’ to ‘make our path successful as we go and stand to fight for the sake of your people of Israel against a foe which curses your name.'” Read more.
