We Have to Do Better — That will Save Us — Remarks of HaRav Hirsch Shlita
by Yisrael Rosner
"These are extremely difficult times. The physical situation in Eretz Yisroel was never as critical. The plan [of Hamas] on Simchas Torah was to seize all of Israel. They also have a detailed design to go join Iran and we cannot help but feel a situation of danger."
These were the words of HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch to the Zvhil delegation of chassidim, headed by the Admor himself, which visited him this past Motzei Shabbos to hear his message regarding our obligation at such a time.
He began by outlining the present situation in the country, saying, ""It requires self-fortification, but man naturally shies away from this, since one does not relish feeling under such an obligation, nor recognizing a sense of real threat. But a person must admit to himself that we are in a unique situation which demands chizuk as the only thing which can save us, and this attitude must encompass every detail in our lives, not only in Torah study, for sure, but regarding interpersonal relations, to yield, forego, not to harm others in any way, to upgrade our tefillah, speech, and our practice of the fine points of Halacha."
