Ukrainian city remembers Jews on Holocaust anniversary
UK ex-chief rabbi warns of Jewish exodus over anti-Semitism
"Atem Nitzavim Hayom Kulchem"; you are all standing today. Rav Shamshon Refael Hirsh says that Nitzavim is from the word Matzeiva a monument, a pillar. In his last speech to Bnei Yisroel, Moshe tells them you are the foundation, the force, the future, and the eternal carriers of the flame of Torah and the banner of Hashem. I am merely a leader that will pass on and move into the annals of history. All the leaders that follow me will meet the same end.
The rise and fall of the Jews rests on your shoulders and the shoulders of your children in every generation. For Klal Yisroel to exist and to thrive, you the ordinary people that must carry on as loyal flag bearers since in you lies the strength of Am Yisroel.
