The crisis in Japan gets worse every day. It seems that the radio-active fallout will hit the center of Japan, and that the economic fallout will reach every place on Earth.
At the same time, the oil rally continues steadily. Inflation increases.
At the same time, in Israel, the threat of rocket fire from Hezbolla and Hamas increases.
What should we do in the face of these most serious threats to our prosperity and tranquility? I submit that we should heed the advice that Daniel gave to Nevuchadnezzar when the latter was confronted with a decree against his rulership:
"Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and break off thy sins by charity, and thy iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; that there might be an extension of thy tranquility." (Daniel 4:24).
Prove that you believe that the world has a Heavenly Ruler. Humble yourself. Become His Shaliach. Prepare to come His Shaliach should the situation worsen. According to your ability, as good as you can, be a giver.
