What a week Bibi had. It’s a privilege to live in the time of such a great leader. Here, in an interview after his UN speech this week, he tells of a meeting he had in 1984 with the Lubavitcher Rebbe. (Incidentally, I recently read a book called The Rebbe’s Army, which was fascinating. I recommend it.)

Oh my. I liked Bibi before, but this week I think I have just developed a HUGELY increased respect and appreciation for the man.
that was wonderful. I myself have been something of a coward at times in the face of ugly behavior- feeling the necessity to keep quiet rather than confront a lie. I suppose the result of watching this video has given me the courage to speak up when I can. Thanks Chas. You make me proud.
amazing – thanks. I was told that Bibi wrote most of that sensational UN speech himself …
I’ve read the Rebbe’s Army and loved it. Feeling the need to read it again.
