A Torah Thought to lift us up this week from Rabbi Yossi Madvig of Oswego, New York

Today the Israel Daily News breaks from the usual news to share something deeply personal. At 4 am Monday morning, June 16th, 2025, a ballistic missile from Iran struck Shanna Fuld’s apartment building, destroying her home and beloved Israel Daily News recording studio. Escaping death by just meters, she came out of the blast without a scratch …but lost nearly everything. In this episode, we walk you through the terrifying moment of missile impact (with a live recording from the hit), the frantic escape, and the ongoing struggle to rebuild her life during wartime. This is not just a story about loss—it’s a story about survival, instinct, and why she’s committed to staying in Israel and continuing to report…no matter what.

More than 300 rockets have been launched from Iran to Israel since Friday, June 13th when Iran retaliated on Israel for carrying out a major operation that aims to remove their nuclear capabilities. It's something Israel has been working on for decades. Around two dozen of those 300 missiles touched down. 13 Israelis have been killed including 3 minors and 10 adults. An Iranian missile strike destroyed part of Bat Yam overnight Saturday, killing at least seven people, wounding nearly 200, and leaving three still missing under the rubble as rescue crews dig through the debris. The Israel Daily News went on scene to understand the damage.
