Israel’s Chief Rabbinate Council passed a formal resolution on Monday expressing gratitude for what it described as extraordinary divine kindness during the ongoing war, while also offering support to national leaders, soldiers, and allies.
During a council session, Chief Rabbi Kalman Ber, who serves as president of the Rabbinate Council, publicly read the text of the resolution.
The statement conveys appreciation to the Prime Minister, members of the IDF, and U.S. President Donald Trump “for being eloquent ambassadors for the defense of the people of Israel,” and extends wishes for their continued success.
Highlighting a spiritual perspective, the resolution declares, “The Chief Rabbinate Council sees the providence of the one who sits in heaven over his nation who sits in the Holy Land, and gives thanks for the miracles that we see during these difficult days of war.”
The council also praised Israel’s military personnel, recognizing both soldiers and officers of the IDF “for fighting with dedication and for standing steadfast for our brothers, the entire House of Israel,” while voicing encouragement for the Prime Minister and cabinet members “who guide the policy of protecting the people.”
In addition, condolences were extended to bereaved families, with the resolution stating: “Both families of IDF soldiers gave their lives for the nation and land, and for the families who lost their loved ones in attacks that aimed to harm the citizens of Israel.” A tefillah was also offered on behalf of those wounded in the conflict.
The Rabbinate Council further acknowledged the support of the United States, thanking President Donald Trump “and all those who surround him who defend our land and the world, as well as the soldiers of the US Military who are also in full cooperation with Israeli soldiers fighting against evil and wickedness.”
The resolution concludes with a heartfelt prayer: “May the blessing be granted: ‘And I put peace in the Land of Israel and the world, and eternal joy on all its inhabitants.”
