At the time this article is being published, my friend and comrade Rabbi Yehuda Glick is fighting for his life in a Jerusalem hospital. After an evening of sharing his vision for prayer rights on the Temple Mount, he was confronted by a man outside the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem who opened fire in an assassination attempt.

My life has been radically changed as a result of my friendship with Yehuda and this tragedy breaks my heart. My fervent hope is that he will make a full recovery and that the mission to restore the right for all people to pray on God’s Holy Hill will be accomplished. In the meantime, I stand with Yehuda Glick and all of those who are yearning for the words of the God of Israel to be fulfilled in this generation: “For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples” (Isaiah 56:7, NASB).

As a father of three sons I have become increasingly concerned about the widening gap of communication between police officers and citizens, especially in Africa-American communities. I am also growing tired of the political posturing that only adds fuel to the fires of fear and misunderstanding. I am called to love God and my neighbor; even if he or she wears a badge.

Instead of running away from the problem I decided to do something positive that I hope will encourage others to do the same. I stopped a cop and it was caught on camera!

My fears became a reality when I received a message from my friend Rabbi Yehudah Glick, who lives not far from the place of the abduction of the three teenagers. He informed me with painful words that the bodies of Eyal, Gilad, and Naftali had been found buried near Hebron. Immediately, three words from the Hebrew Scriptures came to mind that are difficult to read at times like these: וְהֵן לָא ve’hen lo
(but if not). As much as I stood on my faith and hoped and prayed that God would do what I asked, sometimes God doesn’t.

Since hearing about the kidnapping of Eyal, Gilad, and Naftali I have thought about three teenagers in Scripture named Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They were thrown into a fiery furnace but came out unscathed, without even the smell of smoke on their garments. How amazing and miraculous it would have been for the story of Eyal, Gilad, and Naftali to end in the same way as that of their predecessors so long ago, but maybe their lives were on a parallel path. Since hearing about the untimely and tragic deaths of these three young men by the hands of terrorists three words spoken Continue Reading…
