And the passuk is teaching us that even from people like these we can learn a lesson which will enhance our avodas Hashem, thus improving our “soil.” The teshuvah awakening in Eretz Yisrael right now is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Such a Shema Yisrael, cried out from the depths of the hearts of such varied people with such a wide range of philosophies, I have never heard, and I ask G-d that this recollection should be preserved in my memory forever. During those wartime days, not only did everyone see the workings of Divine Providence, and Elokus at every step, but in addition one could see how the sound heart of a Jew is saturated with genuine simple faith. The picture we saw–a street of buildings all ablaze, the shrieks of the unfortunate people who were being burned, the screams of alarmed townsfolk, especially of children, women, and old folk–is indescribable. May this “open up for us new wellsprings of love and reverence for the Jewish sons and daughters, whoever they may.” May we all be inspired by them to change ourselves for the better as well. The Rebbe visited Camp Gan Yisrael in 5720 (1960) and during his talk to the children, he asked: What is so comforting about knowing that Eisav, i.e., our adversaries, will become stubble? The artless faith that surfaced in that universal outcry of Shema Yisrael
