In the past two years, we have all witnessed the great miracles that rescued us from a suffocating ring that threatened to destroy us, God forbid. It was only during the difficult war with the Axis of Evil that we discovered the full extent of the plots hatched by our enemies, and the unimaginable resources they invested to achieve their goal.
The hand of God accompanied us throughout the war, granting us tremendous successes that the entire world stood in awe of. The heroism and self-sacrifice of our best sons met the great miracles of God, and it is no wonder that those who returned from the war were revealed to be full of faith and spiritual strength.
But more and more, another great miracle is emerging and being revealed - that the people of Israel manage to maintain their character not only in the face of the machinations of their overt enemies, but also in the face of tremendous, sophisticated and well-funded efforts of foreign elements.

This is a quiet campaign, wrapped in beautiful words of 'enlightenment' and 'progress', but its goal is to sever the Jewish state from its roots and turn it into a 'state of all its citizens,' devoid of a Jewish soul.
The tip of the iceberg
We see only the tip of the iceberg of foreign funding, channeled to non-profits and organizations working to change the face of society. These penetrate the legal system, academia, educational institutions, security forces, and media power centers.
Their goal is one – to weaken Jewish identity, erode family values, harm the sanctity of the Sabbath, and replace the world of Jewish values with liberal-secular worldviews. This means destroying the foundations that have held us together as one people throughout thousands of years of exile.
The public was horrified by the revelations of a plot to import a million non-Jews from Russia into Israel (and supposedly 'convert' them in a fictitious mass 'conversion'), as a counterweight to the immigration of the Eastern Jewish community, who brought with them the connection to tradition and roots. The recordings that were released revealed what many well-informed people knew, perhaps without the living, shameless proof.
Thus was revealed the sophisticated campaign that foreign elements within the Haredi public were operating in an attempt to tear Haredi society apart. Suddenly it became clear who was behind the street ads and pamphlets that were distributed in the streets, and who was activating and financing more and more actions that were carried out with cunning and deceit.
One of the most worrying tools in this campaign is the cynical exploitation of the legal system, in an attempt to impose a new agenda through the judiciary. Dozens of associations, most of whose funding comes from foreign governments and external parties, have turned the submission of petitions to the High Court of Justice into a system. They petition against Jewish construction, against security measures, and most importantly – against laws that seek to entrench the Jewish character of the state. And the High Court itself, its door is wide open to all of these parties.
Longing for the truth
The fact that the billions poured into campaigns of incitement and consciousness-changing have not achieved their goal is an open miracle. The Jewish public, for the most part, remains connected to tradition, and the connection to its roots is growing stronger. Synagogues are full, Jewish holidays are celebrated with enthusiasm, and many young people are looking for the way back to their origins.
It is difficult to explain this in a natural way. It is a true miracle that all efforts to engineer consciousness encounter a wall in the form of faith. The more one tries to weaken the connection to Judaism, the Torah, and the mitzvot, the deeper the longing for truth and the eternal Jewish heritage awakens among the people.
