 | Imagine a person trapped under a collapsed building. There is a small fissure in the rubble--just large enough to allow him to extend his hand to his rescuers. We are that hand
This is a very realistic article as well as revealing.
Just as an individuals' body is composed of mostly salt water so too is the world, what happens within the body is reflected on a worldly view.
Israel's war is everyones' war. It is the heartbeat of each and every human being. When the heart pulsates at a rapid rate the waters begin to rise as they did in Indonesia.
When the body becomes alienated from itself illness and inner war result and the body dies. The Lord said, "My breath shall not reside in man forever, let the days be allowed to him be 120 years."
The body as a global whole unites us all and united the body will never die. The lion will lye down with the lamb. We cannot be connected on one level yet seperated on the next.

Thank you once again for sharing the Rebbe's thoughts. Of late, since coming fully back to my faith as a Jew, the strong connective ties are pulling at my heart. G-d is so kind in reaching out for all of the Jews. May all the worlds Jews know G-d.

I am a Jewish college student in a small town in Wisconsin. I grew up in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) where I was involved greatly in the Jewish community and was in touch with my spiritual and religious soul. I took for granted my accessibility to the Jewish community (even as a teenager). Now I live in a town with very few Jews and even fewer on Campus. I try to make good impressions when meeting people who find out I am the first Jew they have ever met. I feel lonely here, not on a daily basis, but when holiday's roll around and I don't have the Jewish community I am used to. It is reassuring to read Rebbe's thoughts that even though I am a lonely Jew I still have Israel backing me up, and I can continue to practice my faith while promoting the Land of Israel.
