One Candle of Truth Can Dispel Darkness

One of my favorite Israeli bloggers, Arlene Kushner (who’m I kidding?—she’s about the only Israeli blogger I read) had a link to this quick hit interview of Netanyahu. I hope you watch: it’s about the best minute and a half you’ll ever spend:

I lived in New York at this time, and as a goy, I found it difficult to take the Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Schneerson (whom Netanyahu is quoting) seriously. The literature that one would see proclaiming him as the Jewish messiah seemed a bit of a stretch. But the wisdom of what he told Bibi, the naive but faithful optimism of his comment, is profoundly moving. It’s almost miraculous how it resonates a quarter of a century later.
