Ritkva and Gabi

Beautiful souls. They are an inspiration to do good around us and THAT is their legacy. They had to die to show us that people like them still exists. They have not been sacrificed in vain. It is a wake-up call to alert us that Jews should be more vigilant and be ready to protect themselves from the evil forces that surround the world more than ever. Let us not fool ourselves, the Human Race is not kind and we know it.
Exceptions like this young couple are rare, they are angels, that was the purpose of their life in this world.

The video asks if a shot can be so powerful, how much more can kindness accomplish? But that is the question, isn't it. Despite all their kindness, those few shots destroyed them and their ability to do more.

We must stop being victims

I pray for peace & do mitzvot. However noble this is. It doesn't inhibit these dark forces.
I'm saddened but also angry. This does not have to happen. We have been so conditioned that the authorities will look after us. We as Jews need to take responsibility for ourselves by not being easy victims.
So often I have tried - Begged my shul, my community to become more "Code yellow" More proactive with security, using people in our own community.A few trained parents at a Jewish function, knowing that their family are there, would be more effective than a couple of professional security guys doing another job.
I was part of such a group in S. Africa. We trained many in our community. We did neutralize threats before they happened. Word got to our adversaries that we were not a soft target & that we had a reactive capacity too. We had a 100% success. I remember how often threats were hushed up, so as not to make the community nervous. This is also being done here & it is dangerous.
