In this captivating sermon, we delve into a pivotal moment in diplomatic history. James Baker, the U.S. Secretary of State during George H.W. Bush’s presidency, clashed with Israel over security concessions. Meanwhile, a newly-appointed Israeli Foreign Minister, David Levy, faced a critical meeting with Baker. The Rebbe’s powerful message—delivered by two Chabad Rabbis—urged Levy to stand strong for Israel’s security. What unfolded in that room shaped their relationship and left a lasting legacy.

Takeaways:

1. The Rebbe’s Influence: The Rebbe’s guidance transcended religious boundaries, impacting political decisions and relationships. His call for strength resonated with David Levy, empowering him during a crucial diplomatic encounter.
2. Diplomacy and Bravery: Levy’s bold response to Baker’s demands exemplified the courage of a leader defending his nation’s sovereignty. His refusal to be summoned without due respect set the tone for their future interactions.
3. Friendship Amidst Tensions: Despite initial friction, Baker and Levy eventually forged a friendship. Their story reminds us that even in high-stakes diplomacy, personal connections can bridge gaps and create lasting bonds.

Note: Mr. David Levy’s recent passing adds poignancy to this historical account, underscoring the enduring impact of his legacy.
