Torah Tidbits editor Phil Chernofsky of the OU Israel Center in Jerusalem spoke with Leah Goldschmidt of Itamar on his weekly Arutz-7 program last night. The terrorist attack had still not ended, Leah and her children were in their \"safe room\" with the lights off, and she asked to deliver the following message:
\"If I\'m being listened to by Jews around the world, I\'d like you all to know [where] Itamar is - the burial site of Itamar the Priest... and Yoseph HaTzaddik is right here, five minutes down the road... Where are you all?? We\'re calling to you. This is Eretz Yisrael, the inheritance of Ephraim. We\'re here, and we feel alone! Where are you all? We need your help! We need you to come - either to join us, or to help protect us. And you would be part of it... but we just can\'t hack it alone, we just can\'t. We need your help!\"
