Tonight an El Al jet had to return to Ben Gurion Airport due to a mechanical problem. For hours there was no news. Multiple emergency vehicles waited on the tarmac. Readers and watchers were kept up to date through the internet.
But Jews are funny. Yes, we sat watching like any others, but along with the watching came twitter feeds of Jews around the world reading Tehillim, psalms. Whenever there is danger, you can bet we'll be there to save the world and each other with our twitter tehillim. For us, it was an issue for all Jews. There may be nothing we can do from around the world, but then again, it couldn't hurt.
The plane got back, and landed safely. "Of course," I said to Sean, "it was the Tehillim."
