IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-General Gabi Ashkenazi on Sunday appeared at the Kosel, where he davened and recited tehillim to thank HaKadosh Baruch Hu for the miracles of the Gaza War and for the speedy release of Gilad Shalit.
Following the tefillos, a seuda was held to mark the occasion, to express gratitude to Hashem for the miracles that were apparent to all. At the SEudah, "Nishmas", along with various chapters from "Hallel" were recited. Taking part in the event was Kosel Rav Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz Shlita, who told a story of soldiers from Charuv upon their return from the Gaza fighting, explaining their first stop, before going home, was the Kosel, to express their thanks to Hashem.
Ashkenazi stated his presence was a shaliach for the entire IDF, to thank Hashem for the marvelous success in the operation.
It is interesting to note, that just as the war started, Ashkenazi sent Rabbi Rabi Rabinowitz to Maran Rav Elyashiv & Rav Shteinman to ask them to Daven on behalf of himself and the entire IDF. [This was reported HERE on YWN.]
