Spiritual protection for an IDF soldier
Question
Hello Rabbi, does an IDF combat soldier have special heavenly protection, and if not, then at least atonement for sins in the event that he dies?
Answer
I have no information on the matter. But in my estimation, there is no protection, because in my view there is no divine involvement in the world. As for atonement, I am not worthy to say.
