From an american living in Israel:

Do you care about what is happening to people in Israel?
Your brothers and sisters?
Yes yes, of course you do.
I do too.
Yeah I read the newspapers, the news websites, hear the rumors.
And sigh, oy, Hashem should bring Mashiach. So sad. Hope everyone is ok.
And then turn the page.

As an American girl, living in America, that was me.

But now, American girl living in Israel, the news suddenly takes on a
whole new perspective.
The air raid siren goes off at one in the afternoon, and then again at
8 PM, and then again and 10:30 PM, each one followed by a millisecond
of silence, and then Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
I hope noone was hurt.
I hope it wasn't a friend.
I hope it wasn't that sweet lady I met in shul last week.
I hope her house wasn't destroyed.
And  I wonder- how do people live like this? Day after day?
You go to the park and hear the children playing "tzeva adom" (code
red) and they all run into make believe shelters.
This is normal.
And so not normal.
Yeah, we go about our daily life, buy eggs and bread, make dinner, go to work.
Life goes on.
But for you, before you turn the page, before life goes on,  can you
say a perek of Tehillim? do a kind deed? do another mitzvah?
 For the sake of your brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel, Eretz Hakodesh.
Because we're all in this together.
And together we will bring Mashiach now.
