A time to heal

The first day of the Hebrew month of Kislev brings back memories. It’s when the Lubavitcher Rebbe, who had suffered a severe heart attack on Shmini Atzeret, was able to come to his house.

I remember a few years before that, the Yom Kippur War.

And I remember Shmini Atzeret three years ago, when Hamas attacked Israel.

Kislev is a month of miracles. Chanukah on the 25th, and the freeing of the first Lubavitcher Rebbe from prison on the 19th.

Jews have had their share of hardship and hatred from others.

But on the first day of Kislev, we look forward to miracles.

Indeed, we saw miracles the last few years. Israel miraculously defeated its enemies.

Kislev is a time for healing. A time when the Jewish nation can find inner peace and unity. A time when the world sees our redemption.

Right now, the world stands in awe of the Jewish people.

We have survived thousands of years. And we will continue to survive.

Now, as Israel has become a superpower, the world is realizing more and more, that you don’t mess with the Almighty’s chosen people.

Now, in the month of Kislev, the people will heal.

And we will continue to lead the nations to a world of peace, light, and warmth.

Now, in the month of Kislev, we will heal ourselves and the world. We will teach nations how to heal. And the world will thank us.
