Torah perspective

Emily Damari calls her survival from Hamas captivity a miracle. On Simchat Torah, the day we finish and restart the Torah, she was deep in Gaza. The cycle of the Torah never ends, and neither does the thread of divine providence that holds every Jew, even in the darkest pit. The sages teach that the Shechinah goes into exile with the people. Her testimony is not just personal relief; it is a public declaration that the hand of God is still visible, even when the world tries to hide it. A miracle is not a suspension of nature but a revelation of what was always true: we are never abandoned.
