What's the lesson from the Russia-Ukraine war? Be Lubavitch!

and we we know that this week yesterday thursday us wednesday night there was an announcement by the russian by the russian leader mr putin putin that is attacking and he's attacking and invading ukraine and in hearing uh about this i heard names like her son nicolaive kiev kharkov and for me this hits home why does it hit home because this is the smetaner you know the best part of the cream sour cream the smetana when milk becomes sour smetana is the the richest part the cream of the crop the top this is the the smetan of the babies of chabad our ancestors came from these towns and villages and cities my father-in-law the prime minister of brazil and the family were in in in kharkov in the same house i think from 1905 to 1939 when they had to run away so many families from kharkov the goliath that was born in nicolaive had a son capital of ukraine it's under attack so how do we eden and hasidim look at these things i'm not a prophet nor the son or of a prophet however everything that happens is a divine providence and has a message and has a reason has a purpose and there's something for us that we could do and should do it must do to use in the right way so one thought is that we need to keep the cities and their messages the way this teaches us alive and well we need to keep her son kiev nikolayev and kharkov just to name a few fresh and not stale what do i mean fresh and not stale very simple we live in america we live in canada we live in australia you live in archits row yes there's a revival of yiddish kite in russia and ukraine hundreds of borough hashem with rabero lazar kamenetzke at the helm in ukraine and berlin russia and they're doing the dailies for the floors great things absolutely nevertheless most eden don't live there most jews live outside a laboratory needs to know that this is the bread and butter that obey him for were for a hundred and two years that's what the frida kept says in lubavitch so labavich's belarus in berlin used to be called white russia but nevertheless it's that entire region a little further a little closer but it's that entire region the message of lubavitch the message of lubavitch is varmkite warmth bruderschaft brotherliness togetherness when we hear that there's an attack on kharkov nikolai of her son o'keefe it's like we're being attacked right here in brooklyn or right here next role or in melbourne or wherever you are in a free society where there's no war and there's no issues so in a way the babbage is under attack i know it sounds very outrageous to say that and maybe some will say it's ridiculous but to me this is something that i think about i'm sure there are many other thoughts and ideas that people have and gabaldon color covered great but to me our center which later was transf transplanted to america about it but nevertheless it doesn't take away from where our ancestors came from where the movement was for 102 years so this is a reminder that we need to keep these traditions alive and well now i don't mean to say um we have to be russians because we're not russians okay and we don't have that mindset and we don't want to go through their experiences that our answers went through in the hardest of times with famine and hunger and death and murder and and communism and all the terrible things we finished that a long time ago but when this happens it it it says stay fresh stay low badge don't capitulate to the machinations of the world to the modernity that appears all over everywhere and is justified remember that we are the babbages we are nikolai of kharkov her son and kiev that's who we are as gideon as the and we need to share that with our communities and our friends and our most importantly children and grandchildren so this is just a short thought as we're going to shabbos with him i will say lechayan that this war ends there should be no more death the whole idea of death and killing is not something that we should want for anyone especially there's a lot of hidden there everyone should be safe and sound because should help us have only simchas and mashiach should come immediately and take the entire world to a new place a place of peace and hope and togetherness and will be safer to see our rabbi roshano dance together it will be it will be transformed from the negativity of war to the richness of peace and harmony in your life speedily amazing
