What Yeshiva Students in Bet Shemesh are giving out to random people on the streets

Boys from Yeshivat Amit Nachshon are giving these out to random people on the streets of Beit Shemesh: A note with a candy.


It's beautiful how they are spreading Ahavat Chinam in Israel.
Kol Hakavod Yeshivat Amit Nachshon - You should all be zoche to live long lives filled with Torah and Mitzvot, and greet the Moshiach soon in our days.

Translation of words on the note:
Continuing to live together!!!
If we will it - it's no Dream

Adding to the Love of Israel!
Yeshiva Students Amit Nachshon

Protection from birth pangs of Moshiach and the War of Gog and Magog

The war of Gog and Magog is said to take place just before the final redemption and it will be a war in which Yishmael and Esav will get the best of each other. Yishmael is the representation of Ta'ava in the world, which means desires and lust. While Esav is the representation of Ga'ava , which means conceit & haughtiness.

What can a Jew do to be protected from harm during such times of war? Our Sages teach us that the way is through our actions, specifically through that of Talmud Torah (Torah study) and Gemilut Hassadim (Bestowing kindness to another).

Torah Study to counter attack lusts and desires
and bestowing kindness to counter attack conceit & haughtiness.

An action which is also said to be a protective measure for the war of Gog and Magog is making sure to eat a "Seudah Shelishit" (3rd meal) on Shabbat.

Now here is another practical application of the above concept: if you notice yourself falling into the depths of any of those negative character traits (i.e., lusts, desires, conceit and/or haughtiness) then try to work on on the corresponding "counter attack" to lift yourself back up.

Always remember: Only Hashem can watch over us and protect us. Ain Od Milvado!
