"AND THEY WILL FEAR YOU"

On the eve of the Six Day War in 1967, when the entire world predicted Israel's demise, the Rebbe initiated the tefillin campaign, and assured us that great miracles are in store. He quoted the Divine promise that in the merit of the mitzvah of tefillin, "all the nations of the world will see that the name of G-d is called upon you, and they will fear you" (Deuteronomy 28:10), needless to say miracles is what we saw.

Today the jewish homeland continues to be plagued with threats to it's citizens and it is our resposibility to provide the spiritual cover to our fighting brothers that has stood us in good stead since the inception of the jewish nation.

Tomorrow south african jewry will gather in support of the holy land, as chabad chassdim and as fellow jews it is our duty to ensure that every last jewish male at this rally dons tefillin.

Let's make it happen.
