SPIRITUAL ARMOR FOR EVERY JEWISH SOLDIER
Many Israeli soldiers in the recent war were inspired to put on t’fillin every day. The problem is that many of them cannot buy their own t’fillin. * The one who came to their aid is the shliach in Chevron, R’ Yossi Nachshon who found himself running an organization T’fillin L’Chayal. * Every day he sees miracles in his fundraising efforts and he has moving stories that testify to the extent of the awakening of the hearts of the Jewish people.

THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING PAPER
“Where did I put it? I must remember…” It was the somewhat hoarse voice of old Sholom. With one hand he adjusted his glasses on his nose and with his other hand he rearranged the string that tied the glasses around his neck. “Where can that paper be?” he asked himself over and over.
