How Can You Help The Hostages?

“Rabbi, what can I do to help the hostages?” You could do a lot to help the hostages. But first of all, I want to tell you the fact that you’re even asking that question, and the fact that any person, any Jew, cares about the hostages, itself already helps them. The Torah tells us that when another Jew is in pain, when another Jew is suffering, and we care about them, the care we have in our hearts for them already helps them. Forgetting about them can be the worst sin possible. Caring about them itself already helps them in the situation they’re in. A person can pray, even though, unfortunately, prayer is extremely underestimated. How many times a day does a person really utilize the power of prayer while at home, while cooking, while walking around? You can always talk to Hashem. Every moment, you’re able to talk to God and pray for the hostages. Don’t underestimate what you do. You’re really making a difference for the hostages.
