Torah in Ten: Beshalach
Light Your Candle of Truth
On September 23, 2011, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a powerful speech at the United Nations General Assembly. During his address, he recalled a conversation he had with the Rebbe in 1984. Netanyahu shared the Rebbe’s words when he became Israel's ambassador to the UN:
"Remember, you are going to the UN. You will be serving in a house of many lies. But remember, that even in the darkest place, the smallest candle can be seen far and wide. Your mission is to light a candle for truth and the Jewish people."
