The Night of Surprising Google Searches: Psalms in the Spotlight

Throughout history, faith in Hashem has stood as a beacon of hope during trying times. Israel has always faced unrelenting persecution, and not only from Iran. What has kept us strong and united in the face of these challenges? Our faith.

This enduring faith continues to pulse in the Jewish heart even now, amid the Iranian threat: as soon as it was reported that missiles and drones were en route from Iran to Israel, Google searches ramped up with popular queries like 'cruise missiles' and 'drones.'

But what was the most surprising and searched-for term on Google last night? Believe it or not, Google data reveals that thousands of Israelis flocked to the popular search engine just to look up the word 'Psalms'—in various spellings.

Another keyword that gained popularity overnight was 'the general correction.'

Surprising? It depends on whom you ask: in the face of threats to destroy us, Jews find their faith not only unshaken, but strengthened. Amid the chaos and uncertainty of war, Jews find solace in their profound belief in the Creator, which serves as a shield against persecution, hatred, and oppression.
