It's amazing! Reply

Sound problem The sound of the people talking back and forth with the Rebbe does not come through on the smartphone with this video. You only hear the piano. This video has had this issue for years... you cannot hear any of the vocal dialogue back and forth, at least on a Samsung Reply

Does anyone know What song is in the background? Reply

Inner peace They may never leave us in peace until Messianic times, so we must find peace in our hearts and minds and defend ourselves. But when you hear of a rabbi being killed in Miami, and the members orthodox community say on CNN "We are afraid", while their feelings understandable, this is not the message we want to communicate to the killers or the world.

Beyond Wisdom Yes, Rebbe had a deep sense of wisdom and insight. Yet there is Reality which is beyond even this wisdom. We all know the truth, both manifested in Torah and in the reality on the ground. We know what we have to do with our hearts and minds, with our books and guns to defend our lives and to continue towards the life we are all meant for even as we face seemingly unending darkness bent on preventing us from pursuing the light. One can verbalize it while standing on one foot and saying "we shall prevail". There is absolutely no-thing that will stop us and all humanity from coming to Light, no matter what. We have a choice in all matters, but we have no choice in this one. Because of one fundamental truth: "G-d is all there is". And that's the essence of all wisdom. Reply

On the Rebbe(O.B.M.) The saintly Rebbe has been with me for over 18 years; the words which he imprinted within my mind and soul had helped me built a solid Torah foundation.He truly is the Rebbe of many peoples and Jews of many backgrounds. Reply

Inspiring and Promising This video is both inspiring and promising. I have never watched a video that moved me so much and inspired me to increase in Torah and Mitzvos, nor a video that showed such promises of Hashem and of the Rebbe. Reply

the rebbe made me feel proud to have donned tefillin before having seen this post.......... Reply

Way to peace. Be prepare to accept peace, but if hamas wants war - than give it to them, with extras...If they using civilians as a shield , blod of they own peoples is on their (those who do not want to live in peace), own heads.When you hit, hit hard, less fanatics - more chance for peace, If they (hamas and others) want realy peace - they would go to 22-arab countries to live in peace, and allow Israel to survive in peace.

False peace and land giveaways will never work What has years of negotiations + land giveaways ever gotten Israel?

More terrorism on more land against a shrinking Israel.

Arabs = 22 countries to go to, Jews have one tiny 1 several times smaller then smallest of Arab countries & shrinking.

Israel forcibly against own citizens, made some settlements Judenrein, for the Tarribists to steal (as if Judea and Sumeria (Gaza, West Bank) + the other land they have stolen from the Jews, hasn't been enough).

That land included greenhouses which grew flowers for export and earned profit over 2 million dollars/year.

Within 24 hours of Arab takeover, the greenhouses were totally destroyed by these terrorist thugs.

They hate civilization like a drug gang does.

No deals with them will EVER result in peace, it's a total fantasy.

Only defeating them will ever result in peace.
It was the same w/Nazi Germany, & Neville Chamberlian who thought he had "peace in our time" because Hitler had signed some stupid piece of paper. Reply

Competition for Hearts Only a few wage war, battle, fire rockets, spew vicious rhetoric in the media, and draw attention to their beliefs, their ways, their solution. The vast majority watch as one side contests the other, trying to discover who tells the truth, whose actions are truly for the people. When the peoples hearts are won through good deeds and words, through actions based on compassion and caring for others, then the mass of people will oust their own leaders who are actually hate mongers. The Palestinians themselves will oust Hamas once they know for sure who they can trust and who are purveyors of lies and deceit. If Israel and its allies will invest themselves in truth telling, compassionate actions, and deeds of right and righteousness, the seeds of peace and reconciliation will be scattered throughout the region. War is not the answer. It can not bring a sense of peace or accomplishment. War does not produce brothers out of combatants. The hand of reconciliation is the only answer. Reply

speak to Hamas Mr. Hooymans should really be addressing Hamas, advising them to sit down and talk instead of firing rockets. Firing rockets is no solution for peace. Israel said if Hamas stops their offensive, then they would stop retaliating. True compassion here would also be to speak to Hamas to stop involving their civilians in the battlefield. It's so obvious. That would solve the problem.
Unfortunately, however, Hamas doesn't seem to care about its people. Egypt was willing to receive casualties from Gaza. The Egyptian foreign minister announced Hamas was not letting the casualties to arrive, said Hamas was to blame. Also an Arab commentator claimed Hamas didn't reply to Egypt's invitation to come to internal Palestinian dialogue and also prevented supply convoys from arriving in Gaza. Now we hear that Hamas confiscated loads of supplies that were destined for 500 Gazan needy families.
As a compassionate person, Mr. Hooymans should be directing his dialogue to Hamas. Reply

wondering why Calgary is disappointed with Israel's solution for peace. Doesn't he recognize the fact that ISRAEL GAVE UP LAND FOR PEACE? Giving up Gaza was part of the agreement that this would bring an enduring peace. Then what's the question here? After giving away Gaza, Hamas decided Gaza would be a good launching ground to fire rockets into Israeli populations. After sending in about 8000 rockets for several YEARS for the purpose of killing Israeli civilians, Israel finally responded, with the intention of wiping out Hamas' ability to aim at Israel's civilians. Then, Hamas decides it would be good to use their women & children & involve them in the battlefield. Hamas made sure to fire at Israel from people's homes & public buildings & to place explosives there. Israel, on the other hand, sent leaflets & made phonecalls to warn the people to get out before attacking. What other country does that? Wonder why he's not disappointed with Hamas' BREAKING of peace, & REFUSAL TO END THEIR ROCKETS. !!! Reply

wondering In reading many of the above comments, it's interesting to read one person's comments that the blood spilled....." stains the reputation of Jews everywhere". When Arab terrorists hijacked planes and crashed them into the world trade center and their people rejoiced, and when Arab terrorists blow themselves up in crowded civilian places, when they've done other acts of terrorism in the world, do they stain the reputation of Arabs everywhere? I would like to know. Reply

innocent children We saw a video of the IDF finding a school, and a zoo filled with birds and caged animals, rigged with explosives in Gaza. Why does Hamas involve their own innocent children and animals?
We also saw a picture of a 2-year-old Arab child with a suicide belt around his (or her) waist. Reply

why use your women & children? They're targeting Hamas, but Hamas' shields are their people, which they openly stated recently. Why would anyone want to use his wives and children to protect him, to be his shield? He'd rather they be killed instead of himself maybe? If Hamas has been refusing to negotiate, and has also been refusing to end their rockets at civilians, and Israel has repeatedly told them they'll stop firing if they stop their rockets, but Hamas refuses to do so, then what does anyone expect to happen. Any country would have reacted the same way as Israel. Reply

using the old argument - you Jew Why respond to that person's comments with "arrogant, aggressive Jewish approach"? Why can't we relate as person to person, not as stereotypes? Reply
