This Shabbat, Parashat Chayei Sarah, 5000 emissaries of the Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the “Rebbe,” gathered to preserve his legacy. who passed away exactly 35 years ago, and continues to exert a towering influence

This week, these 5000 devotees of the Rebbe will visit the grave of the Rebbe and shout out out a collective voice  for peace in the Land of Israel,

The Rebbe taught that the Arab war against Israel should not be understood as a conflict between nation states but rather as an existential threat to the Jews in the Land of Israel. As the war against the Jews spreads, the current threat that the Rebbe described, ahead of his time, has become ever more real. In the language of the Rebbe, this threat constitutes a matter of “Pikuach Nefesh,” a matter of life or death for Jews.

Hamas, elected in 2006 to run the PLO parliament,  exemplifies that  total war on the Jews. The charters of the PLO and Hamas, which openly call for the obliteration of the Jews in Israel, remain unchanged, despite international agreements signed on the White House lawn in 1993. (Note: That peace agreement was never ratified by the PLO.)

That same PLO is now funded, condition-free, by 135 nations.

With Pikuah Nefesh as a guiding policy for the Land of Israel, this is the time for 5,000 devotees of the Rebbe to address six threats to Jewish lives:

  1. Pay to Slay Legislation

The PLO  adopted an unprecedented law to provide a salary for life to anyone
who murders a Jew, or a salary for life to the family of anyone killed
while murdering a Jew. Not one nation on earth has demanded that this law be changed. The time has come to condition humanitarian aid on the striking of “Pay to Slay.” To receive humanitarian aid, you must act human.

  1. Indoctrination on PA TV, PA Radio and PA Social Media. The PA media, known as the PBC, operating PA on Israel-owned frequencies, focus on programs that incite Arabs to wage war on Jews. Thus, Palestinian media constitute a threat to human life. The time has come to jam the frequencies of the Palestinian media, which are owned by Israel.
  2. PA Schools of War

PA schools, operating under the authority and with the sanction of the Israel Civil Administration, have adopted a new curriculum to indoctrinate a new generation to wage war on Jews. If that curriculum continues, the time has come to padlock PA schools.

  1. The PSF – Palestinian Security Forces trained by Israel

The PA armed forces, the PSF, which was trained by the IDF, have  turned on the Jewish state. This is the time to disarm the PSF

  1. UNRWA

UNRWA oversees 6.7 million descendants of Arab refugees stuck in 59 refugee camps since 1948, under the lethal premise of “The Right of Return by Force of Arms”, without any plan to replace “temporary” refugee camps with communities dedicated to UN principles of peace. The time has come to cut international funds to UNRWA until UNRWA policies change, and the time to close UNRWA in Gaza,

  1. COGAT- The Israel Civil Administration

COGAT, instead of representing Israel’s interests in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, supports Arabs who build anywhere, regardless of constraints under the law.

COGAT facilitates Pay to Slay, PBC, PA schools of war, PSF and UNRWA

The time has come to launch a PIKUACH NEFESH ALERT, produced in multiple languages, to address these six threats to the lives of every Jew, with a flow of facts and films, with one goal: to mobilize public opinion and policy makers to protect the lives of Jews.

That is how to preserve and protect the Pikuach Nefesh legacy of the Rebbe.
