In light of recent events, particularly the reprehensible attacks by Hamas, Chabad in the State of Florida has embraced the Rebbe’s call to action during such trying times.

The Rebbe encouraged that in addition to tears and sorrow, we must increase in acts of goodness, kindness, Torah study, and performance of Mitzvos (commandments) – that embody the power of good over evil.

Immediately upon hearing of the unprovoked pogrom, Chabad Shluchim/Centers across Florida united their communities, rallying thousands of Jews in solidarity with our Israeli brothers and sisters through prayer, charity, and love and respect for our fellow human beings.

We stand with the brave soldiers of the IDF, who selflessly defend Israel, and we offer them support in their mission to combat evil.

We extend our unwavering support to the leadership of Eretz Yisroel that Jews worldwide and all civilized members of society stand firmly behind your endeavors. We urge you to stand firm, paying no heed to those bent on hatred who would, God forbid, wish to see the destruction of Israel.

With heartfelt blessings for the ultimate redemption heralded by the arrival of Moshiach, when the world shall live in peace and tranquility, the scourge of war shall be no more. Rabbi
