Israel, we have the constant threat of Iran. Now, the USA is being threatened with Irene. "Irene" and "Iran" are spelled with the same letters in Hebrew - aleph, yud, resh, nun. If you scrabble those letters, you get nun-yud-resh-aleph, which means we must fear.
Yes, we must all fear - that's a law inherent in creation. But if you opt to fear One, then you need not fear anyone else. Emuna and yirat shamayim - true awe of Hashem - are the key words to keep us safe wherever we are, whether on the Mid-Atlantic Coast or on the Eastern Mediterranean Coast.
