American Jews need to hear this message from a Holocaust survivor. Everyone needs to hear this. There’s only one place for the Jewish people.
Holocaust Survivor’s Message to American Jews
This video is of a Holocaust survivor named Rabbi Yosef Fischman, of blessed memory. When a Holocaust survivor shares a message like this one, everyone has to listen up. American Jews are of course not in the same danger as the Jews in Europe were in the 1930s and 1940s. But his message is clear: You never know what can happen. You might feel comfortable, but things can change in the blink of an eye. And in some places throughout the world, we have seen what has been happening to the Jewish community. We have seen the attacks – both physically and verbally. We have seen the antisemitism. It’s terrifying!
There is one place that the Jewish people can really call home, and that is the land of Israel. G-d gave us this holy, special land. Our future is only there. Our past is there. And our present should also be there. Don’t wait to come home until you are being chased from foreign lands. Come home to Israel because this is where G-d wants you to be. Don’t you want to be in the place where it’s all happening? Why watch from the sidelines as Jewish history unfolds? Come on the field! All are encouraged to play. Is it always easy to be the stars on the court and in the field? Definitely not. But it’s always worth it. It might take strength and courage, but the reward is great. Come and see for yourself.
