Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman is known to many as a beloved spiritual father to thousands of children and a guiding light to supporters across the globe. But beyond his powerful role in education and outreach, Rabbi Grossman is also a trusted advisor to Israel’s highest-ranking leaders, sought after for his wisdom, blessings, and moral clarity.

This week, the newly appointed head of Israel’s Shin Bet (General Security Service), Major General David Zini, made a special visit to Rabbi Grossman’s home. In this personal and moving encounter, the two exchanged words of strength and hope, speaking about their shared vision and sense of responsibility for the future of the Jewish people—both in spirit and in security.

As President of Migdal Ohr, Chief Rabbi of Migdal HaEmek, and a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council, Rabbi Grossman welcomed the incoming leader with warmth and purpose, offering heartfelt blessings ahead of his crucial role.

This moment underscores a powerful truth: that the spiritual and strategic pillars of Israeli society are deeply connected. Leaders like Rabbi Grossman and Major General Zini demonstrate the unity between Torah values and public service—between those who safeguard the soul of the nation and those who protect its borders.

We pray that this new chapter in Israel’s leadership will be marked by strength, wisdom, and unity—and that the partnership between faith and service continues to light the way forward.
