Israel's Deed of Ownership | The Rebbe's Roadmap to Peace, Episode 1

The first episode of this series explores the practical significance of asserting the correct explanation for Jewish ownership of Israel, rooted in the historical connection to the land established in the covenant between God and Abraham, the first Jew, over 3,500 years ago.

Critical insights from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson of righteous memory, articulate why this specific argument—distinct from other commonly cited explanations—guards against misconceptions. Hosted by Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin, JEM's executive director, this video lays out the Rebbe's argument on how only through grounding the argument in God’s commitment, as recorded in the Bible, can Israel establish a truly irrefutable Jewish ownership.

Understanding that Israel was conferred as an eternal covenant to the Jewish people provides moral clarity regarding Israel's provenance and sets the stage for the upcoming episodes in the series, on the moral and compassionate Jewish rules of self-defense.

Baruch Hashem for giving us the Rebbe to learn from.

Yes. The Jewish confidence. This is a wonderful series. Thank you.

When October 7 happened, my elderly mother messaged me “ Don’t hide. You are a Jew. Hiding is not an option for you. “.
We are secular Taiwanese Jews. But I live in Boston. One of the epic centre of calling the genocide of Jews from Harvard and MiT.
So, I wear my Star of David and carry a work backpack imprinted with Israeli flag to the hospital where I work. Everyday. It’s been over a year. I have Rebbe’s photos on my desk as a reminder of how to be a Jew with courage. Just keep moving forward.

This is an interesting series that will hopefully inspire truth talking. It is said that truth must be spoken to those in power. It should be done with those in power in Israel, and elsewhere.

Timeless, yet fresh… lifting us out of the political dungheap.

Thank you much JEM for this brilliant shining gem: WHEN, PLEASE 🙏 HASHEM, ARE WE JEWS GOING TO TELL THE TRUTH TO THE NATIONS????
