In 1990, Eretz Yisroel was gripped with deep fear as Saddam Hussein of Iraq launched a Scud missile attack. Amidst the crisis, the Rebbe’s voice comforted and encouraged the Jewish nation, assuring them of a miraculous outcome.
In 1990, Israel was gripped by an atmosphere of deep fear and uncertainty. Saddam Hussein, the ruthless leader of Iraq, had launched a series of Scud missile attacks aimed at Israel, ostensibly filled with poison gas, threatening the lives of millions within its borders. His threats shook the nation to its core.
Amidst the crisis, the Rebbe’s voice resonated from 770, amplified throughout Israel’s print and broadcast media. Comforting and encouraging the Jewish nation, the Rebbe reminded them that the Jewish people are G-d’s beloved child, urged that people not change their travel plans to Israel, and assured them all of a miraculous outcome.
With firsthand accounts from Minister of Internal Security Roni Milo, Rabbi Dov Menachem Dobrushkin, and Rabbi Yehoshua Metzger, “Eyes Upon the Land” showcases the Rebbe’s unwavering confidence and optimism in the face of deadly threats. Witness the miracles as they unfolded, and the Rebbe’s impact on the nation.
As history repeats itself, with the Jewish people’s enemies promising destruction, G-d forbid, we pray that Israel’s leaders do everything necessary for its defense, and that Hashem will once again display open miracles.
