The second installment in JEM’s series “The Rebbe’s Roadmap to Peace,” the new episode, titled “The Jewish Rulebook of Self Defense,” explores one of Torah’s foundational principles for achieving lasting security in Eretz Yisroel.

JEM has released the second installment in their series “The Rebbe’s Roadmap to Peace.” The new episode, titled “The Jewish Rulebook of Self Defense,” explores one of Torah’s foundational principles for achieving lasting security in Israel.

The film employs sleek graphical sequences, animated maps, and archival footage to illustrate how the cornerstone principle of preemptive defense has shaped Israel’s most decisive military victories. Through careful examination of key peace & wartime decisions, learn how commitment to this principle has successfully protected civilians, deterred adversaries, garnered international respect, and minimized casualties on all sides.

“What makes this film truly unique is our approach to visualizing complex geopolitical concepts to illustrate the Rebbe’s advice,” explains Mendel Chein, associate producer of the series. “By combining cutting-edge animation, animated maps, and historical footage, we’ve created an unprecedentedly powerful presentation of Torah’s guidance on a major step on Israel’s pathway to peace.”

Yisroel Green, the project director of Enduring Peace, who joined the team after a decade long career in documentary production (ABC News, VICE Media), notes, “It’s remarkable to me how nimbly and eloquently the small but scrappy EP team is able to synthesize the Rebbe’s teachings and apply them to such a complex geopolitical issue in such an engaging way. There’s something for everyone here – whether you’re a longtime Lubavitcher or someone who simply wants to learn about Torah’s approach to a conflict at the forefront of the modern era.

“When Torah’s approach is presented clearly, it resonates deeply across the entire spectrum of the Jewish community,” noted Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin, founder of JEM’s Enduring Peace. “This film allows everyone to learn directly from the Rebbe on this vital insight in securing Israel’s path to peace.”
