In 1979, a group of 10 mothers and 40 children travelled secretly from
Kiryat Arba through dangerous Arab areas to Hebron and, into a former medical
center called "Beit Hadassah" hoping to reestablish a Jewish presence in the
formerly Jewish building. They stayed there for a whole year, whereupon a
terrorist attack emboldened the Israeli government to let Jewish life begin
again in Hebron. In a particularly difficult period, one mother asked the
Lubavitcher Rebbe if the women should stay. The Rebbe answered that he wouldn't
tell them they had to stay, but, citing today's verse, if they did, God would
ensure their portion of the
Land. This past week, in a repeat of history brought on by world pressure and
fear of reprisal, hours after moving in to their newly purchased Hebron homes,
200 brave and passionate Jews were thrown out. In these days fraught with
controversy, please pray for the peace and safety in the Hebron region and all
of Israel.
