RABBI NEWBERGER

The War on Terrorism is WWWIII, a war against an unseen enemy which is nowhere and everywhere, a war against those who blasphemy the name of God: רבבנה של עולם, a struggle against evil. The terrorists are the new Nazis.

We honor the memory of over 3000 victims of 9/11 in New York City, which includes members of the New York Police Department and New York Fire Department who sacrificed their lives, and in Washington, and the victims of suicide bombers in Israel. These Israeli victims were the first martyrs. We honor the memory of the victims of suicide bombers in Bali and Jakarta Indonesia, in Djerba, Tunisia and in Iraq. All are martyrs, קדושים (K'doshim).

The Palestinian strategy is a war of terror which aims to eliminate the State of Israel, and commit genocide against the Jewish people.

We call for Reason, Justice and Mercy to prevail in the New Year of 5764
