Our Russian-built horseless carriage has just returned us from a road trip through Ukraine. Near the end of our journey, we stopped off at the home of a woman in Kralivets. She then told us that she had a Torah, and asked if we wanted to see it...

I can just say that I'm very impressed about the courage you guys have to think of others before yourselves, because Ukraine is not the most welcoming country in Europe, without considering the anti-semitism there.
I can just wish you to go from strength to strength in the service of G-d, and giving naches to the Rebbe!

If not for your valuable work, who would find these treasures....

I suspect that a torah was divided into sections for safe keeping. to hide it from the Nazis it was used on the reverse side to make a picture of wolves attacking a deer. The wolves were symbolic for the SS, the deer of our people.

G-d bless you for your holy work, often done in great lhardship.

It occured to me as I read the message..
It sounded to my ears as Amalek means "the ego" so I read it again with "the ego" and to me and for the first time it made sense . To me the ego is the root for such hate violence chaos and curses that we experiecne in this world for far too long.
Does it sound that way to you also?
