The Fires

Three days ago, a tragedy occurred here and in Israel. A young guy, two years older than me, from our shul died from prescription drugs, and a terrible fire started in northern Israel where 41 Israelis have already lost their lives.

I pray to G-d to give Israel the superhuman strength and ability to put out the fires and  my prayers go out to all the families who have lost someone. We have frequent fires in California, but Baruch Hashem, usually very few people, if any, die.
