30:26 Speaker 4 That concludes the first hakafah. This hakafah is dedicated to the soldiers, the soldiers from the Tzrifin camp who have to leave soon. All the soldiers are invited to come forward and receive a Torah scroll, and may they “tear off arm and head.” All the soldiers are asked to receive a Torah scroll. Let us take this opportunity to mention that there is a special segulah for striking fear into the enemy: putting on tefillin. Through putting on the tefillin of the arm and the head, the tribe of Gad merited the verse “and he tears off arm and head”: they would kill and crush the enemy with a single blow, striking the head and arm together. So, soldiers, we appeal to you: starting tomorrow, be careful to put on tefillin, and Hashem will help us, and victory will come soon. Please, Hashem, save us; please, Hashem, grant us success. Hashem, save us; may the King answer us on the day we call. Rejoice on Simchas Torah and honor the Torah. Rejoice on Simchas Torah and honor the Torah. Rejoice on Simchas Torah and honor the Torah.

08:34 Speaker 1 That concludes the third hakafah.
08:40 Speaker 2 For the safety of the IDF soldiers. Victory in the war.
08:42 Speaker 1 Ah, for the safety of the IDF soldiers. A few weeks ago, even before the fighting broke out, the Rebbe shlita called on us to gather all the young children who study Torah. That was still in Elul. The instruction was to gather all the children, bring them to the Kosel, and say certain verses with them. We will say those verses here as well, for the safety of all the Jewish people, and especially the IDF soldiers now engaged in battle. The Rebbe shlita asked that these verses also be said during the Ten Days of Teshuvah, and in the United States he said to say them on Erev Yom Kippur as well. That word did not reach us, but they did say them there on Erev Yom Kippur. And since we still need mercy, we ask all the young children, together with their fathers and the entire congregation, to say these verses. All the children are asked to gather here near the bimah, near the Aron Kodesh. All children below bar or bas mitzvah age, below mitzvah age. The whole congregation will join them. Hear, O Israel: Hashem is our G-d, Hashem is One.
10:29 Speaker 3 Hear, O Israel: Hashem is our G-d, Hashem is One.
