Menachen Ofen isn't afraid. He is no newcomer to terror.  He has looked death in the eye in the past.  A miracle survivor of a terrorist attack, Menachem dedicates his all to the IDF soldiers wherever they may find themselves, with great selflessness.  When he heard the news about the "Oferet Yetzuka"  IDF action, he knew where he should be- right  up front with the  security forces.  He know his duties as a soldier of the Rebbe; to encourage the soldiers, raise their morale, and offer them spiritual protection.

Meir Alfasi, our Shturem photographer, joined Menachem to document this mivtza, that is going on for days and nights with no let up, going from base to base and from position to position, coming very close to Chamastown that is aflame.  They also visited the Rafiach Pass, spoke with soldiers from various units, gave them care packages and put t'fillin on them.
