Daily Quote
Stay away - to the ultimate degree - from "holy wars." Not because we lack the means of prevailing or because of timorousness, but because we must consecrate all our strength exclusively to strengthening our own structure, the edifice of Torah and mitzvot performed in holiness and purity.
–Rabbi Sholom DovBer of Lubavitch (1860-1920; quoted in HaYom Yom, Elul 14)
