Chaim begins the video by asking his viewers if they know what day it is. Then he tells them that it’s “Simchat Torah” the day after the end of the Feast of Tabernacles when Jewish synagogues all over the world roll the torah scroll back to the beginning of Genesis so they can begin to go through the Torah again every Shabbat.
He says that even as they’re celebrating the fact that they’ve kept the Torah safe for centuries, the Jewish people are also fighting for their lives in a battle against evil terrorists.
He says the battle against Hezbollah is going much better than it was expected to go, with the number of rockets Hezbollah is firing into Israel a tiny fraction of what it was feared they would be able to do and many of their fighters taken off the battlefield while much of their much-feared arsenal is already gone.
Chaim says they’re still dangerous but they are being steadily degraded and pushed back.
He asks his viewers to “remember the Word of God” in the midst of all this, and he quotes Micah 7:8; Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.
He also mentions the former UN peacekeeper who told the media that UNIFIL was militantly complacent and did not even attempt to enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1701, possibly because they were paid off by Hezbollah to look the other way and not enforce it.
But, he says, even amidst this and many other things that the world is looking at, often in fear and trepidation about what the future is likely to hold, Chaim says that something new is coming, and he asks his viewers to join him in rejoicing for the new things the Lord is doing and about to do.
