How should Orthodox Jewish families respond when their sons are called to military service? Should they strengthen themselves in Torah and mitzvot to protect their children, or is it sufficient to rely on the physical preparations of the army? The answer is clear from our sources - we must understand that our protection comes from HaShem, not from missiles or tanks.

Our protection comes exclusively from HaKadosh Baruch Hu, not physical means. The Torah teaches that increased Torah study, tefillah, and mitzvah observance are our sole safeguard. Removing Torah scholars from learning for military service diminishes this vital spiritual protection, increasing vulnerability. HaShem alone decides victory. When sons are called to serve, families must dramatically strengthen their commitment to Torah and mitzvos, recognizing that spiritual adherence, not weaponry, ensures true safety.
