Weekly Story on Our Response to the Terrorism and War in Israel
We’ve been crying. Struggling. So brokenhearted. What is the call of the hour? The Rebbe gave us the answer 50 years ago, 3 days into the Yom Kippur war. Our mandate is JOY! You can't go into battle with a faint heart or low morale. You need to be strong, courageous, and positive. This week’s story will deeply inspire you to bring forth your song of defiance and courage in the face of all this horror and darkness.

The Rebbe is right - hard as it is, the evil has to be overcome - Wars have to have a winner and loser, but in fact all lose by the conflict. We have to be strong in purpose, and establish a positive attitude - not in vengeance (like the Arabs) but in humility and optimism that we have G-d with us, and he will never let his people down.
There will be a time for tears, and a time for rejoicing and healing - but not yet - each day we get nearer to overcoming the evil that has been loosed on us, and on the whole world.
