10@9 Each One of 300,000 Makes All the Difference - November 15, 2023

This morning I report on the historic experience of traveling to Washington to be part of yesterday's Rally for Israel. We discuss, based on Rambam, how a single individual must see the deep benefit of adding one voice, one presence, to even such a large endeavor. I share the moving accomplishment I heard from so many in Israel of feeling a warm hug from us, and feeling they are not alone - we are in fact one family. I reflect on the warm, convivial atmosphere, and the beautiful way this representation of Klal Yisroel (the Eternal Jewish People) showed the best of us and sanctified God's name. And I share the words of the one who was, for me, the most powerful speaker, Rachel Goldberg, the mother of Hersch, wounded and help captive by Hamas. BRING THEM HOME NOW!
