Prayer For Nepal
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 worldโฆ of almost total obliviousness to non-Jewish suffering is shamefully deplorable..
The insouciance springs, in part, from failure โฆ grounded in a blend of ignorance and prejudice, to appreciate the scope and value of Gentile Avodat HaShem anpirituality.
Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein. Ztzโl
Former Rosh HaYeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion, Israel
