Farbrengen 19 Kislev 5741, Kfar Chabad

00:02 Speaker 1 Ladies and gentlemen, dear and distinguished hosts, Mr. Uri Zvi Greenberg, the greatest poet of our generation, members of the Knesset, honored guests, distinguished audience: What can I say in the presence of great Torah scholars and masters of wisdom? Especially after the wonderful words we have heard.

00:39 Speaker 2 Complete silence, please.

00:43 Speaker 1 After the wonderful words of the Rebbe shlita that we heard read aloud this evening by the greatest poet of our generation, it seems to me that anything more would only detract. So I will offer just a few words of blessing. I think not many people in this country know what the initials Chabad stand for. But I am sure many think, and perhaps feel, that the name Chabad comes from the word chibah, affection, because Chabad has become synonymous with affection—with love for Zion and Ahavas Yisroel. At the sound of that name, every Jewish face breaks into a smile, and a wave of love and joy enters the heart and fills it. And so, ladies and gentlemen, I bless you on this festive day, the festival of Geulah, that you continue to spread, and succeed in spreading, the fire and light of love—love for Jews and love for Judaism. May this surge of Ahavas Yisroel radiating from this place, from your enthusiasm and from this singing, break through boundaries and barriers throughout the world, reach and win over millions of hearts—millions of Jewish hearts in the east and west, north and south—and bring those millions here, to Eretz Yisroel, so that we may live together Jewish lives of faith, joy, love, respect and peace. And then, honored Rabbi, when those millions come, all the problems will be solved, all the blessings will be fulfilled and every wish will come true. Amen, may it be so.
