On Friday night, Rav Chaim Zev Malinowitz spoke of an email which he received being a subscriber to the Pirchei Shoshanna Hilchos Shabbos email list. He explained that ordinarily he doesn’t have the time to read these emails, but this week, he read this particular posting.
The point of Rav Malinowitz’s Drash on Friday night and this author’s vort during Seudat Shlish’t was that, here were these soldiers, in the heat of war, with concern for the nations welfare and for their own survival and yet, while having to violate Shabbos for pikuach nefesh in defense of the Jewish people, still sought to keep Shabbos in a way pleasing to Hashem.
