The Courage to Fight - Rabbi Gershon Turetsky

Shalom from the southern part of Eric Israel it's a privilege and a pleasure once again to be sharing Torah with the Kola toroku community in alanisa one of the things that we say is we say you in the great Mercy a mat you stood up for us in our time of time of difficulty and the next line is raft at revam you've fought our fight now what's interesting is that idea of a country fighting our fight if you think about it it doesn't say anything about our Victory it just points that our country fought our fight now the shimmy shimo points out that fighting a fight in and of itself is not so significant people can get to fight with people who are much stronger much much bigger much greater than they are so what's the miracle about the venez Israel about the makabim about the people living in that time but they fought the fight and the sheamusual explains that during the time of the Greeks we are Jewish Pride was at the lowest it's ever been we didn't feel like we had the right even to stand up for ourselves we feel we didn't feel like we have the self-worth to fight against the Greeks but Akash broccoli gave us a Nace and the nase was that we rejuvenated we invigorated our Jewish Pride to the point that we thought to ourselves we have the right to fight against the Greek oppression and of course it's a Timeless message and our date and every day that always people are trying to oppress us we have to remember that akashbrook gives us the KOA gives us that Jewish Pride which gives us the right to stand up against those who are opposed to us so because the courage that no matter what circumstance no matter who that enemy is from without we should have the feeling of Pride that allows us to stand up to our oppressors wishing you all a very happy Hanukkah foreign
