Prayer For Nepal

In Contemporary Issues and Liturgy & Ritual

ย  Lord of the Universe, I beg You To Redeem Israel, But If You Do Not Want To Do That, Then I Beg You To Redeem The Gentiles

ย Rabbi Israel Hopstein
The Maggid of Kozhnitz(1737-1814)

***
The tendency prevalent in much of the contemporary Torah worldโ€ฆ of almost total obliviousness to non-Jewish suffering is shamefully deplorable..
The insouciance springs, in part, from failure โ€ฆ grounded in a blend of ignorance and prejudice, to appreciate the scope and value of Gentile Avodat HaShem anpirituality.

Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein. Ztzโ€l
Former Rosh HaYeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion, Israel
