Aharon felt disappointed that he was not part of the Nesi'im's dedication of the Mishkan, but Hashem reassured him that his role with the Menorah was even greater. The Menorah was unique not only because its western lamp burned miraculously longer than the others, testifying that the Shechinah rested amongst Klal Yisroel, but also because its very creation was miraculous. Fashioned from a single block of gold, it was beyond human ability to produce. Yet Moshe was still required to learn every detail, follow every instruction, and do everything within his power before Hashem completed the Menorah.This teaches a profound lesson in serving Hashem. When something appears achievable, we understand the need to work hard and do our part. But when a challenge seems impossible, we may be tempted to give up before we begin. The Maharal teaches that even miracles require human effort. Our responsibility is to follow Hashem's instructions and do everything humanly possible. When we make that effort, Hashem can bring results far beyond our abilities, just as a beautiful Menorah emerged through a partnership between human dedication and Divine intervention.לקו״ש לח-א

June 2 second from 2:36 There are many people – including yeshiva students and Talmideh Hachamim – who skip the section of Korbanot, which discusses the sacrifices offered in the Bet Ha'mikdash, and begin with Pesukeh De'zimra, from Hodu or from Baruch She'amar. The Hikreh Leb ( Rav Raphael Yosef Hazan, 1741–1820) considered the possibility that those who devote their days to Torah study are perhaps justified in omitting the Korbanot section. Since they spend their time immersed in Torah learning, they might be excused for saving time by skipping this part of the Shaharit prayer. However, the Hikreh Leb dismisses this possibility, writing that as this is part of the daily prayer schedule, there is no excuse for omitting it. We cannot emphasize enough the importance and value of reading the Korbanot section, whereby we access the atonement and blessings that the sacrifices in the Bet Ha'mikdash bring. This is true of all the Korbanot, but it is especially true of the Ketoret – the section dealing with the incense offering that was brought each day in the Bet Ha'mikdash. The Zohar (Midrash Ha'ne'elam, Parashat Vayera) relates that Eliyahu Ha'nabi once appeared to Rabbi Pinhas, and taught him that the public recitation of the section of the Ketoret has the power to protect against plagues. Rabbi Aha, the Zohar writes, once visited the town of Tarsha, and the residents informed him that a plague had been ravaging the town for seven days, and was increasing in severity. He instructed them to choose the forty most righteous men of the town, and divide them into four groups of ten. Each was to go to a different corner of the town and recite the section of the Ketoret. Afterward, Rabbi Aha urged them to visit those who were on the brink of death, and to read the verses that tell of Aharon ending a plague by offering incense (Bamidbar 17). Sure enough, these patients survived. Elsewhere (Parashat Vayakhel), the Zohar emphasizes the protective powers of the recitation of the Ketoret. It cites Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai's exclamation that if people recognized just how precious this text is, they would take each word and wear it as a crown on their heads. If one recites the Ketoret with proper concentration, Rabbi Shimon taught, he is spared from punishments both in this world and the next world. The Zohar further teaches that the Ketoret should be recited before the Amida prayer, because it helps clear the pathway to the heavens from the harmful spiritual forces that seek to sabotage one's prayers, ensuring that they reach the heavens. Some explain that the special offerings of the Nesi'im (tribal leaders) which they brought in honor of the consecration of the Mishkan were especially cherished by G-d because they included Ketoret. Moreover, Rabbenu Bahya (Spain, 1255-1340) writes that the moments after the offering of the Ketoret were the most auspicious time for blessings and prayers. This is why the Kohen Gadol would recite a special prayer for the people after offering the Ketoret on Yom Kippur, and why Moshe and Aharon blessed the nation on the day of the Mishkan's inauguration, following the offering of Ketoret. I witnessed the power of the Ketoret recitation firsthand. When my congregation's synagogue was being constructed, we encountered one problem after another. For reasons we do not know, Hashem decided to test us by making the process exceedingly difficult. Nothing was working. We consulted with the great Kabbalist Rav Mordechai Attieh, and he came with ten great scholars. They stood around the construction site and recited the Ketoret. Sure enough, after that point, we were able to move forward and complete the project. The power of the Korbanot section and the rewards offered by its recitation should incentivize all of us to do everything we can to ensure that we read this section each day.

In this Parsha Review Podcast episode on Parshas Nasso — the longest portion in the Torah with 176 verses — Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the profound significance behind the detailed repetition of the identical gifts brought by the leaders (Nesi'im) of each tribe to the Mishkan. Rather than summarizing, the Torah lists every offering individually to teach that even when the external gift is the same, it becomes unique based on the heart, intention, and personal circumstances of the giver.The episode beautifully connects this to core Jewish ideas: every person is completely one-of-a-kind, with their own unique relationship to Hashem, their own way of praying, giving, and serving. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that God doesn't want us to be “like everybody else” but to embrace and cultivate our individuality. This message comes right after Shavuot, teaching that true Torah growth happens when we bring our authentic selves — our unique perspective, strengths, and challenges — into our service of Hashem. Our character traits (middot) are measured differently in each soul, making every person's spiritual journey personal and irreplaceable._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on May 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 27, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

This sicha examines why each nasi brought identical offerings during the dedication of the Mishkan and elaborates on the significance of unity and individuality in Jewish service. It highlights how identical actions can represent diverse intentions and contributions, underscoring communal unity through individual expression https://www.torahrecordings.com/likutei-sichos/018/004_005

1972. gada decembris.

Tagad, vairāk nekā 50 gadus vēlāk, cilvēks atkal dodas Mēness virzienā, bet nu jau ar ambiciozākiem kosmosa izpētes plāniem – "Artemis" programmas mērķis ir ne tikai atgriezties uz Mēness virsmas, bet sagatavot cilvēci ceļam uz Marsu.

Shalom Aleichem. For today, we will do in the middle of Chapter Resh-Kaf, 220. We actually did part of this in the earlier version as we have been doing the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, but here they added some pieces, so there is also an additional piece which is applicable and timely, because starting with Tuesday that is going to be Rosh Chodesh Nissan. Of course, this Shabbos is Shabbos Mevarchim, so starting with Tuesday we are going to start reading the Nasi. The Nasi refers to when they first built and erected the Mishkan, when the tribes brought their offerings. There were twelve tribes. When we speak of the twelve tribes, we refer to the twelve sons of Yaakov, but we must remember that the tribe of Yosef was divided into two—Menashe and Ephraim. Therefore, when we speak here of the twelve tribes bringing their offerings, it includes Menashe and Ephraim, because the tribe of Levi did not bring an offering at that time together with the others. Each day, starting from Rosh Chodesh Nissan, one of the leaders of the tribes, according to the order described in the pasuk, brought the korban of that day. The Torah records this at the end of Parshas Naso, going through each day: on the first day one tribe with its leader brought its offering, on the second day another, and so on. In fact, each of the korbanos was exactly the same. Since the Mishkan was erected on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, the offerings began on that day. That is why we have the tradition that starting from Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we recite each day's Nasi, reading the portion that describes the offering of that particular tribe. At the end of each section, after reciting the Nasi of the day, we say a special Yehi Ratzon. In this prayer, we ask Hashem that in His great kindness He should shine upon our souls the spiritual lights associated with that tribe. We say, “If I am from that tribe.” For example, on the first day, when the tribe of Yehuda, represented by Nachshon ben Amminadav, brought the korban, we say, “If I am from the tribe of Yehuda,” asking that all the spiritual strengths of that tribe should empower us in Torah and avodas Hashem. The Rebbe, in a sicha in Likkutei Sichos Chelek Lamed-Beis, addresses a difficulty. Out of the twelve prayers, only one would correspond to a person's actual tribe. How, then, can we say “if I am from this tribe” each day, when eleven of those statements would seemingly be incorrect? The answer is that there must be a connection to every tribe. Even if one does not belong directly to a particular tribe, there is still a spiritual connection, and one can receive the spiritual lights associated with it. This is related to the concept of ibbur, that a person can pass through and be connected to levels beyond their own. The Rebbe explains further that when one actually belongs to a given tribe, the connection is revealed and powerful. However, even when one does not belong to that tribe, the statement “if I am from that tribe” is still meaningful, because there is an underlying connection. Moreover, the very act of saying it may help reveal that connection and draw down the spiritual influence of that tribe. This explains why even Kohanim and Leviim, who clearly know their lineage, were instructed by the Rebbe Rashab to recite these prayers. Although they are not from the other tribes, there is still an indirect connection, and therefore they too can draw from those spiritual influences. The Rebbe concludes that the twelve tribes represent twelve distinct pathways in the service of Hashem. By reciting all twelve Nesi'im, one connects to all these paths. On the thirteenth day, although there is no additional tribe, we read the section of the Menorah, corresponding to the tribe of Levi. Aharon, the leader of the tribe of Levi, did not participate in the offerings, and Rashi explains that he felt distressed about this. Hashem responded, “Yours is greater than theirs,” referring to the lighting of the Menorah. Therefore, we include this section on the thirteenth day, completing the cycle of spiritual influence. Through these twelve days and the thirteenth, we encompass all the spiritual energies of the tribes, drawing inspiration and holiness as we prepare for Yom Tov. Additionally, although not mentioned explicitly in this sicha, we know from Shulchan Aruch that we do not say Tachanun during the entire month of Nissan. Since each tribe's offering was like a personal Yom Tov, one might ask why this affects all of Klal Yisrael. The answer is that even though it was one tribe's celebration, it impacted the entire Jewish people, expressing the deep unity of Klal Yisrael—regardless of individual lineage, we are all truly one. Summary The Nesi'im reflect twelve paths in serving Hashem, and through reciting them, every Jew connects to all. Even without direct lineage, a spiritual connection exists. This highlights the unity of Klal Yisrael, where each tribe's light and celebration extend to all. https://www.torahrecordings.com/shulchan_menachem/orach_chayim/220_005

The Rebbe explains why we commemorate the Nesi'im: their offerings established an eternal foundation for all Jewish service. Through reading the Nasi and Yehi Ratzon, every Jew receives spiritual strength from all tribes, impacting Torah study, fear of Hashem, and daily life. https://www.torahrecordings.com/likutei-sichos/032/002_001

Good morning and Chodesh Tov. Today is the first of Nisan, the month of miracles, renewal, and revealed Divine light. In this teaching, we explore the deep meaning of Rosh Chodesh Nisan, the day the Mishkan was finally established and the Shechinah rested among Israel in a revealed way.We look at why the entire month of Nisan is so elevated that we do not say Tachanun, the custom of reciting the section of the Nesi'im during the first twelve days, and the deeper insight brought in Hayom Yom about how even a Kohen or Levi may be connected to another tribe through ibur neshama.The class also continues the Tanya theme that through mitzvot, Torah learning, and prayer, a person draws down the Shechinah not only upon themselves, but upon their portion in the world and ultimately upon all of creation. Torah is not only studied. It is a calling. Through true Torah learning, we call to Hashem and invite Divine light into our lives.A Chodesh Tov teaching on miracles, the Mishkan, the power of mitzvot, and how Torah becomes the way we draw G-d close in truth.

Parshas Vayakhel teaches that true unity is created when people not only gather together but also give of themselves for a shared holy purpose. The missing yud in Nesi'im teaches that even good intentions must not be delayed, and that holiness is built through eager and united action. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/010_vayakheil/008

התוכן [המשך] והתורה ניתנה למטה דוקא כדי להיות "ממוצע" שמחברת את ענינים הגשמיים עם ה', שגם בהם, שהם מצ"ע תחת הזמן, יהי' ענין הנצחיות – "חרות ממלאך המות". ולכן לידת משה, שענינה – המשכת התורה שפועלת נצחיות בעולם, ""מכפרת" ומבטלת את מה שנגרם ע"י "יום המיתה" – שתפלה לא עוזרת. וענין זה, שהלידה תבטל ענין המיתה, הי' בגלוי אצל משה, שדוקא עליו נאמר "לא מת"! כי מזה שכבר בלידתו "נתמלא הבית כולו אור", מוכח שמהותו העצמי הו"ע התורה – נצחיות, ולכן (בענינו העצמי) נשאר "חי וקיים" ב"זרעו בחיים" – "סמוכים איש מפיש איש" עד למשה רבינו ובנשיאי ישראל שבכל דור. ועפי"ז מובן גם מדוע נס פורים שעי"ז "קיימו מה שקיבלו כבר" הי' דוקא בחודש אדר שבו נולד משה.משיחת פורים ה'תשי"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-02-2026 Synopsis (Continued.) The Torah was specifically given in this world, in order to connect physical matter with Hashem and to imbue the world, which by nature is subject to time, with the quality of eternity, “freedom from the angel of death.” Therefore, the birth of Moshe (whose role is to bring Torah into the world, and thereby bring eternity in the world) “atones for” and nullifies the effect of the “day of death.” This idea that birth nullifies death was seen visibly in the case of Moshe (one of the unique individuals whom the Sages tell us “did not die”) because at the moment of his birth, “the entire house became filled with light” (the light of Torah), showing that his very essence is Torah (eternity). Therefore Moshe inherently “lives and endures” in “his offspring who are alive,” through those ordained one from the other going back to Moshe Rabbeinu and through the Nesi'im in every generation. Accordingly, we can also understand why the miracle of Purim – when “they upheld what they had already accepted” – occurred specifically in the month of Adar, the month of Moshe's birth.Excerpt from sichah of Purim 5719 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=24-02-2026 לזכות שניאור זלמן הכהן בן רוזה חנה שי' ליום ההולדת שלו ז' אדר – לשנת ברכה והצלחה, ואריכות ימים ושנים טובותנדבת אביו ר' ‏אברהם הכהן שי'‏

The Alter Rebbe writes that on a tzaddik's yom hilula, “the work in which he worked” ascends above etc.; citing a verse from the haftorah of Parashas Va'eira, which discusses the transformation of kelipah to holiness, which is the general purpose of the soul's decent into the body in general, and its decent into exile in particular. And this what prepares for the time when “I will also bring you up again,” upon the true and complete Redemption. On this Shabbos we bless the new month with the six expressions, “for gladness and for joy…,” and we conclude with “and let us say Amen,” which confirms it an eternal reality even in this world; therefore, the way to prepare for this is also to decide firmly and resolutely to “never to return to foolishness again.” The path for this service has already been paved by the Nesi'im of the Jewish people, going all the way back to the three Avos – “I appeared to Avraham, etc.”; meaning, as Rashi explains, “to the Avos,” emphasizing that what is relevant to the Exodus from Egypt and the future Redemption is the quality shared equally by Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov – the fact that they are the Avos of every Jew.Excerpt from sichah of Motza'ei Shabbos Parashas Va'eira, 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=16-01-2026

Teens are forming emotional bonds — not just online, but with AI companions. In this episode, Dr Justin Coulson talks with Brown University psychologist Dr Jacqueline Nesi, author of Techno Sapiens, about the fast-growing world of AI “friendships” and what they mean for kids’ mental health. They also unpack Jackie’s latest research revealing how often teens check their phones — and how it’s shaping their moods. It’s a must-listen for parents navigating the blurred lines between connection, distraction, and dependence in the digital age. KEY POINTS 72% of teens have used an AI companion; over half use one regularly. AI chatbots are designed to keep kids engaged — often prioritising screen time over wellbeing. For some vulnerable kids, AI chats can feel like friendship or therapy — but they aren’t replacements for real connection. Australia’s new social-media age-limit laws may help, but implementation and design flaws remain. Teens check their phones an average of 112 times a day — once every 10 minutes! Frequent phone checking is linked with greater emotional ups and downs. Teens who are less mindful tend to reach for their phones more after bad days — using screens as emotional regulation tools.

Fr. Andrew Iskander- Homily for the 1st Sunday of Nesi. A reflection on the end of times and preparedness. Click the icon below to listen.

At the end of this week's Parashat Naso , the Torah goes into great detail describing the donations brought by the Nesi'im to inaugurate the Mishkan. Remarkably, each Nasi brought the exact same offering, yet the Torah repeats the full list of items again and again—spanning about 56 pesukim . Why such repetition? The Torah is teaching us a profound lesson: Hashem treasures the efforts of every individual . Even when people perform a mitzvah as part of a group, Hashem values the actions of each person separately. In a shul, there might be hundreds of people reciting the same words, but to Hashem, every word uttered by each person is uniquely precious. There is no such thing as Hashem getting "bored" of repetition. He cherishes everything we say and everything we do—every tefillah, every act of kindness, every mitzvah. The same applies when we experience His presence in our lives. Even when similar moments of hashgachah peratit repeat, each one feels new and meaningful. We're often moved by others' stories of hashgachah , and they awaken in us a desire to see Hashem's hand in our own lives too. Sometimes, we think: Those stories are inspiring, but they never happen to me. Yet we are encouraged to always hope and pray that they do. About a month ago, a story circulated about a chatan who wished to feel his late father's presence at his wedding. Miraculously, around that time, someone from Israel arrived in New York with a letter that the chatan's father had written decades earlier. Through an incredible sequence of events, the letter ended up in the hands of this chatan —dated with the exact date of his wedding. The letter, addressed to a chatan on his wedding day, was written by his father years earlier on that very same Hebrew date. The message felt as though it had come directly from his father, offering blessings from shamayim . This story was shared at a siyyum on Masechet Bava Metzia . In the crowd sat a man named *Yaakov. Hearing the story, he silently wished that he too could receive something from his late father, who had passed away over 20 years ago. The very next day, as Yaakov opened his mail, he noticed an envelope that looked like another routine request. But inside, to his astonishment, was a handwritten letter—written by his father 50 years earlier to a close friend. That friend had just discovered the letter while cleaning for Pesach and thought it would be meaningful to send it to the son of his old friend. Yaakov was overwhelmed. He couldn't stop reading the letter. As he reached the bottom, he noticed a few words written in the opposite direction—a postscript from his father asking his friend where he was up to in Masechet Bava Metzia . Yaakov was stunned. He had just returned from a siyyum on Bava Metzia , where he had wished for a message from his father. Still in disbelief, Yaakov went to his sefarim shelf and opened his Gemara Bava Metzia . Inside was a sticky note marking that he still had to complete pages 50 through 54. It was as if his father was reminding him: Your siyyum isn't complete yet—finish it properly. In that moment, he felt a powerful connection, a personal hashgachah that touched his soul. Yes, the stories we hear really can happen to us. Hashem treasures everything we do, and we are uplifted when we recognize His presence in our lives. May we always feel close to Hashem. May we always sense His guidance. And may we continue to be inspired by the miracles—big and small—that surround us every day. Shabbat Shalom.

The Torah in Parashat Naso tells of the special gifts and sacrifices brought by the Nesi'im – the leaders of the tribes – in honor of the inauguration of the Mishkan. To celebrate this event, the Nesi'im donated wagons to be used by the Leviyim to transport the Mishkan during travel, and then each tribal leader offered a series of sacrifices one day. Each day for twelve days, a different Nasi brought these sacrifices. The Torah introduces this account with the words, "Va'yehi Be'yom Moshe Kalot Moshe Le'hakim Et Ha'Mishkan" – "It was on the day when Moshe finished erecting the Mishkan…" (7:1). Rashi observes that the word "Kalot" resembles the word "Kalla" – "bride." This allusion, Rashi explains, indicates to us that on this day, the day when the Mishkan was completed and began functioning, Beneh Yisrael were like a bride entering under the wedding canopy with her groom. This was the day of Beneh Yisrael's "wedding" with G-d. Rashi's comments must be reconciled with the well-established tradition viewing Ma'amad Har Sinai – G-d's revelation to our ancestors at Mount Sinai – as our nation's "wedding" with the Almighty. Indeed, several customs we observe at weddings commemorate aspects of Ma'amad Har Sinai. For example, we adorn the Hupa with flowers, just as Mount Sinai grew beautiful flowers at the time of the Revelation. And it is customary for the groom to leave the Hupa and walk toward the bride to greet her as she makes her way to the Hupa, as G-d is described as coming from Mount Sinai to greet the people as they made their way from the camp to the foot of the mountain ("Hashem Mi'Sinai Ba" – Debarim 33:2). If our "wedding" with the Almighty occurred on Shabuot, the day of Matan Torah, then how can Rashi speak of the day of the Mishkan's inauguration – which happened nearly ten months later – as the "wedding day"? The answer lies in the tragic event that transpired in between Matan Torah and the inauguration of the Mishkan – the sin of the golden calf. We might say that the day of Matan Torah marked the first stage of the wedding process – what we call "Kiddushin" (betrothal). This is the stage when the groom gives the bride a ring and designates her as his wife. The marriage is completed with the stage of "Nisu'in," when the bride and groom go into private for the first time. The "Nisu'in" between Beneh Yisrael and Hashem was to occur forty days after Ma'amad Har Sinai, on the 17 th of Tammuz, when Moshe came down the mountain with the two tablets. This day was to have marked the completion of the "wedding," whereby our nation was fully "married" to the Almighty. In the interim, however, Beneh Yisrael had betrayed G-d – like a bride who was unfaithful to her groom – by worshipping a foreign deity. Under such circumstances, of course, the "wedding" could not continue. Beneh Yisrael needed to repair the relationship through repentance and through the building of the Mishkan. Once the Mishkan was completed, the "wedding" could now be resumed. Therefore, Rashi writes that on the day of the Mishkan's inauguration, Beneh Yisrael resembled a bride going into the Hupa – because this day marked the renewed "wedding" which had been discontinued as a result of the sin of the golden calf. Not coincidentally, Parashat Naso is almost always read shortly after the celebration of Shabuot, the day which celebrates the beginning of our "marriage" with G-d. Parashat Naso tells of the completion of the "wedding," how our nation succeeded in recovering from the tragic failure of the golden calf, in rebuilding our trust and faithfulness, so we could again be worthy of "marrying" Hashem, of entering into a unique, intimate bond with Him. The story of the Mishkan's completion teaches us that we need to earn this special relationship through loyalty and devotion. If we prioritize other interests and concerns over the Torah, if we choose to place our trust in people and forces other than Hashem, then we are betraying Him and thus become unworthy of His special protection and blessings. If we want to benefit from our relationship with G-d, we need to earn it through unbridled fealty to His commands, and by remaining uncompromisingly and unflinchingly committed to the Torah, without being misled by the alluring "golden calves" that threaten to pull us away from our loyalty to Hashem.

התוכן א) כמו בזמן גלות מצרים נתבשרו בנ"י על הגאולה בר"ח ניסן, הנה עד"ז בכל ר"ח ניסן מתחדשת הנתינת-כח לכללות ענין הגאולה, וכן תהי' לנו בר"ח ניסן זה בפועל!; בר"ח ניסן היתה חנוכת המשכן ואז התאחדו כל הי"ב נשיאים והביאו ביחד קרבן משותף "שש עגלות צב ושנים עשר בקר", ורק לאח"ז הביא כל נשיא קרבן מיוחד ביומו. וההוראה: בר"ח ניסן ישנה הנתינת-כח לכאו"א להתאחד עם כלל ישראל, וכולם יחד מסייעים ל"הקמת המשכן" וכו'. ב) להוסיף בלימוד הלכות חג הפסח שמרובים ביותר, וכשיודעים מ"ש בכתבי האריז"ל ש"משהו חמץ" בפסח נוגע להנהגה דכל השנה כולה, הרי לא יחסכו שום מאמץ להזהר מזה ע"י ידיעות ההלכות וכו'.ב' חלקים משיחות ר"ח ניסן ה'תשמ"ב ל"צבאות השם" ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=30-03-2025 Synopsis (1) Just as the Jewish people were informed of the redemption from the Egyptian exile on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, so too, on every Rosh Chodesh Nissan, there is a renewed empowerment for redemption, and so may it be for us practically on this Rosh Chodesh Nissan. When the Mishkan was inaugurated on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, all twelve Nesi'im united in one offering of “six covered wagons and twelve cattle”; only afterward did each Nasi bring his individual offering on his designated day. The lesson is that on Rosh Chodesh Nissan every Jew is empowered to unite with the entire Jewish people, and together as one to take part in erecting the Mishkan etc. (2) One should increase in studying the Halachos of Pesach. As the Arizal states, even the slightest amount of chametz on Pesach affects one's conduct for the entire year; therefore, one will surely spare no effort to avoid chametz, by studying the relevant halachos etc.2 excerpts from sichos of Rosh Chodesh Nissan 5742 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=30-03-2025

Lake Garda, Italy's largest and most picturesque lake, is not just a scenic marvel but also a hub of exceptional wines. Thanks to its unique microclimate and diverse soil composition, this region produces some of Italy's most distinctive and celebrated wines. From refreshing whites to complex reds, Lake Garda's wines offer something for every palate. One of the best ways to visit the enormous Lake Garda and its wineries is to ferry hop from one lakeside town to another. Nestled on the western shores of Lake Garda, the Valtènesi wine region is an enchanting destination for wine lovers looking to discover something truly special. This area, with its stunning landscapes and rich winemaking history, remains relatively unknown outside of Italy, but that is changing—thanks to ambitious winemakers like the dynamic duo behind Conti Thun Winery. This is a re-release of a 2021 episode that digs even deeper into the Valtènesi and Lake Garda wines.  

On "Shabbat Zachor," the Shabbat before Purim, we take two Torah scrolls from the Heichal. After reading the regular Torah portion from the first Torah, we open the second scroll and read for the Maftir reading the final verses of Parashat Ki-Teitzei (Devarim 25:17-19) which command us to recount Amalek's attack on Benei Yisrael. According to many Halachic authorities, including the Shulchan Aruch, the annual reading of these verses constitutes a Torah obligation. The Zachor reading differs in this regard from the standard Torah reading, in that it is a Torah obligation. In light of the unique status of the Zachor reading, is it proper for the congregation to read along with the Ba'al Koreh (reader) from their Chumashim as he reads Zachor? Although some Rabbis indeed encouraged reading Zachor along with the Ba'al Koreh, Chacham Ovadia Yosef, in his work Chazon Ovadia (Laws of Purim, p. 4), rules that to the contrary, this practice is inappropriate. Firstly, he notes that the Torah introduces the obligation to recall Amalek's assault with the term "Zachor" (literally, "Remember") – the same term with which the Torah introduces the obligation of Kiddush on Shabbat (Shemot 20:8). The Sages understood the word "Zachor" as a reference to verbal recitation, thus requiring that one verbally declare the sanctity of Shabbat every Shabbat, and verbally recall the incident of Amalek once a year. As we know, one can fulfill his obligation of Kiddush by listening to its recitation from somebody else. The Halachic principle of "Shomei'a Ke'oneh" establishes that by carefully listening to somebody else's recitation, one is considered to have personally recited the given text. Therefore, one is not required to personally recite Kiddush on Shabbat, and it suffices for him to listen to its recitation by another person. Similarly, the obligation to read the Zachor section can be fulfilled by listening to the reader, and there is thus no need for the congregation to read the verses of Zachor along with the Ba'al Koreh, as they satisfy their obligation by carefully listening to his reading. Furthermore, Chacham Ovadia adds, the Zachor obligation requires reading this section from a proper Torah scroll. Therefore, the congregation can fulfill their obligation only by listening to the Ba'al Koreh's reading, whereby they are considered to have themselves read the Zachor section from a Torah scroll. If they read from their Chumashim, then they do not fulfill their obligation. It is therefore appropriate for the congregation to remain perfectly silent during the Zachor reading and carefully listen to each word read by the Ba'al Koreh. There is some discussion among the Halachic authorities as to whether or not women are included in the obligation to hear the Zachor reading, and therefore many women indeed make a point to come to the synagogue on Shabbat Zachor to hear this reading. Many communities conduct a special Zachor reading on the afternoon of Shabbat Zachor for women who are unable to attend synagogue services in the morning. Some Rabbis discouraged this practice, arguing that it is inappropriate to take the Torah scroll from the Heichal for this reading, since no Beracha is recited over this reading and it is unclear whether or not it is in fact required. Chacham Ovadia Yosef, however (In Chazon Ovadia – Laws of Purim, p. 10), encourages this practice, claiming that reading the Zachor section for women is indeed a worthy enough purpose to warrant removing the Torah from the Heichal. He draws proof to his position from the practice of Rabbi Moshe Greenwald (early 20th-century author of the "Arugat Ha'bosem") to remove the Torah from the Heichal each morning during the first twelve days of Nissan and read from the section of the "Nesi'im" in the Book of Bamidbar (7:1-8:4). Even though reading from the "Nesi'im" section during this period is not required by Halacha, and is merely a Minhag (custom), this practice is deemed worthwhile enough to allow removing the Torah from the Heichal. Certainly, then, it is proper to conduct a special Zachor reading for women in deference to the view among the authorities that the Zachor obligation applies to both men and women. Why is no Beracha recited over the Mitzva of reading Zachor? Many Mitzvot that we perform require the recitation of a Beracha. Seemingly, then, before the Zachor reading we should recite the Beracha "Asher Kideshanu Be'mitzvotav Ve'tzivanu Li'zkor Ma'aseh Amalek." Why did the Rabbis not require the recitation of a Beracha before the performance of this Mitzva? Chacham Ovadia (Chazon Ovadia – Laws of Purim, p. 11) cites those who answer this question on the basis of the Gemara's comment in Masechet Megila (10b) that the Almighty does not rejoice in the destruction of the wicked. Although the wicked people in the world must be eliminated, their death should not be a cause of joy and celebration. Thus, for example, when the ministering angels wished to sing a song of praise upon the drowning of the Egyptians in the sea, God exclaimed, "My creatures are drowning at sea – and you wish to sing a song of praise?!" Therefore, even though we must conduct a special reading to recall the obligation to destroy Amalek, the Sages chose not to require the recitation of a Beracha, which would express a feeling of joy and excitement over the destruction of the wicked. Summary: On the Shabbat before Purim we read for the Maftir reading the section of "Zachor" from a separate Torah scroll. The congregation should remain silent during the reading, rather than read along with the Ba'al Koreh (reader). Some authorities require women to hear this reading, as well. Many communities therefore conduct a special Zachor reading during the afternoon of Shabbat Zachor for women who cannot attend the morning services, and this is a proper practice.

Trump took the stage in Butler, Pa., a local countersniper who was part of the broader security detail let his colleagues know his shift was ending. ‘Guys I am out. Be safe,' he texted to a group of colleagues at 4:19 p.m. on July 13. He exited the second floor of a warehouse that overlooked the campaign rally site, leaving two other countersnipers behind. Outside, the officer noticed a young man with long stringy hair sitting on a picnic table near the warehouse. So at 4:26 p.m., he texted his colleagues about the man, who was outside the fenced area of the Butler Fair Show grounds where Mr. Trump was to appear. He said that the person would have seen him come out with his rifle and ‘knows you guys are up there.'

I'm just not sure that the rest of this campaign includes much besides that.'” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/29/us/politics/kamala-harris-2020-positions.html 4:45: The Carpet Doesn't Match the Drapes: What the hell did former U.S. Congressman Patrick Murphy just say on Fox News? 5:05pm- In the week since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and selected Kamala Harris to be his successor, clips have emerged of Harris advocating for some truly bizarre policies—including a ban on fracking, a mandatory gun buyback initiated via executive authority, placing a limit on red meat consumption, providing taxpayer-funded health care to undocumented migrants in the country illegally, and the complete abolition of private health insurance. Rich notes that if Democrats feel as though Harris is incapable of defeating Trump, they won't hesitate to replace her as their candidate. Currently, Harris appears to be polling slightly better than Biden had been—though, Trump still leads in most swing states as well as nationally. 5:10pm- Karens for Kamala! According to Reuters, more than 160,000 people joined a “white women for Kamala Harris” Zoom call. Independent journalist Michael Shellenberger notes, “I thought this was a joke at first but it's not: Kamala Harris' campaign is segregating its volunteers by race. These are the people who spent decades smearing their opponents as racists. Why do people tolerate this degrading treatment?” You can read the initial Reuters report here: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/more-than-160000-people-join-white-women-kamala-harris-zoom-call-2024-07-26/.

While speaking on behalf of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro alleged Donald Trump intends to “use the department of justice to attack people who don't think like him.” He also inaccurately claimed Donald Trump wants to confiscate tips from waiters and waitresses, despite Trump's campaign pledge to end taxes on tips. It sounds like Shapiro desperately wants to be selected as Harris' running mate. 5:40pm- J.D. Tuccille of Reason writes: “Imagine you're a prominent ‘disinformation expert' once hired to head a government board to fight alleged untruths but unceremoniously dumped from the position when the board was dissolved amidst public outcry. Smeared oh so cruelly as the would-be chief censor of a government body tasked with policing people's speech, you sue your critics for defamation to set the record straight. And then…the judge tosses out your case, saying you and your stillborn board really were created to engage in censorship, and descriptions to that effect are accurate. Ouch, Nina Jankowicz.

Au début du mois de mars 2024, l'Otan a donné le coup d'envoi de Steadfast Defender 2024. Le plus grand exercice jamais organisé depuis la guerre froide. Une manœuvre qui se décline de l'Arctique jusqu'aux frontières de la Pologne. Tarte des chasseurs alpins vissée sur le crâne, bottes et même surbottes sur un treillis blanc, camouflage montagne, les ordres de l'adjudant-chef JB fusent : « Avancez le plot ! Il faut qu'il y ait un maximum de places, entrez tout le matériel, dégagez le VAC ! La logistique en temps de guerre, c'est plus pas facile que c'est compliqué… on attendait les Norvégiens qui devaient arriver à 10h00 ce matin et il est à peu près 21h30, ça complique un peu l'affaire ! On peut se retrouver dans une situation assez inconfortable, surtout qu'on est sur un terrain qu'on ne connaît pas bien, sur lequel on peut difficilement sortir des axes pour éviter de tomber dans l'eau, il y a des lacs un peu partout, c'est fortement déconseillé ! »  Le bord d'une route enneigée, ravitaillement de nuit pour les chasseurs alpins français déployés au-delà du Cercle polaire à l'extrême nord de la Norvège… La logistique norvégienne peut arriver d'un instant à l'autre et il va falloir dépoter. Car à proximité dans un repli de terrain, une file de 68 véhicules/articulés/chenillés BV 206 taillés pour l'Arctique attend de pouvoir faire les pleins. À chaque instant, cette concentration peut se transformer en cible. L'instant est crucial, lâche le capitaine Vincent, responsable de la logistique « La logistique, c'est le point le plus vulnérable. On s'adapte, on met des dispositifs de sûreté, il y a des soldats autour, mais on sait que c'est vulnérable. On a juste du retard avec la livraison, donc du fioul, des repas et de l'eau. Si on n'a pas ce point de rendez-vous et ce point de ravitaillement, la guerre ne peut pas commencer. » Véritable révélateur d'une faiblesse qu'il faudra corriger, le ravitaillement s'est finalement achevé au petit matin. Les équipages ont trois jours d'autonomie. Une petite bataille va pouvoir se jouer aux environs de Masse, hameau lapon aux maisons en bardeaux de bois rouge. Dans cette région de lacs gelés, sont réunies les meilleures troupes de montagnes de l'Otan, le Lieutenant-colonel Marc Antoine, chef opération du 7ème Bataillon de chasseurs alpins de Varces, est à la manœuvre : « Nous sommes sous les ordres du Finmark Land Command qui est un commandement territorial norvégien. Dans cette force, on a différentes nationalités : il y a des bataillons et compagnies norvégiennes, il y a également plusieurs compagnies finlandaises, une compagnie de combat et une compagnie logistique. On a une compagnie suédoise également. Et Il y a un bataillon italien avec qui on va plus particulièrement interagir puisqu'on est vraiment dans la même zone d'opérations. Donc voilà la force d'opposition de l'exercice à laquelle nous appartenons et avec qui nous allons manœuvrer pendant une semaine ».  Chargeurs calés sur une veste camouflage hiver, lunettes de ski rouges et plume de corbeau noire fixée sur le casque… Voilà le colonel Francesco Lamura, chef des Alpinis italiens. Dans sa carrière de soldats, il a connu les montagnes d'Afghanistan, celles du Liban, il lui manquait dit-il de se confronter au Grand Nord « le premier objectif de Nordic Response, c'est d'augmenter et de consolider l'interopérabilité entre membres de l'Alliance. L'armée italienne veut accroître ses capacités à vivre, manœuvrer et combattre dans cet environnement arctique. Nous avons beaucoup d'expérience avec les chasseurs alpins français et bien sûr, nous sommes prêts et bien entraînés. »Les chasseurs alpins jouent les RougesDans le scénario retenu, 450 chasseurs alpins français et 300 Alpinis jouent les rouges, l'ennemi face aux troupes de l'Alliance. La mission des Franco-Italiens, dit le lieutenant-colonel Marc Antoine, doigt sur la carte, c'est de freiner la progression d'une colonne blindée allemande pendant deux jours : « On est une force qui serait installée dans cette zone et la force de l'Otan, elle cherche à nous repousser et à faire en sorte que nous ne restions pas sur ce terrain et donc face à nous, nous avons une brigade constituée de Norvégiens et d'Allemands. Notre objectif en termes militaires, c'est échanger du terrain contre du temps. Donc on n'est pas là pour tenir coûte que coûte le terrain et les empêcher absolument de passer. On est là pour faire en sorte que ce soit difficile pour eux et qu'ils perdent des forces et du temps. » Les couloirs de mobilité sont rares, partout une neige profonde ou même les motos neige s'enlisent, ce qui n'a pas pour effet de démotiver la troupe, « je pense qu'on va s'en sortir ! Tout est bien parti, on est là pour ça, on s'entraîne pour ça en France donc y a pas de raison qu'on n'arrive pas à s'acclimater ici. Je pense que pour des troupes de montagne, c'est le fond du job ici. C'est les basiques, c'est ce pourquoi on s'est engagé de toute manière ! », dit d'un ton assuré un chasseur alpin les yeux rougis par le froid.Bataille autour de SuolovuopmiRoute 45 surnommée la ligne Grizzly, l'un des rares endroits praticables… Des antennes surplombent des filets camouflage masquant les chenillés, l'un des deux postes de commandement français émerge à peine de la neige… Dans la nuit, les commandos montagnes qui, eux, évoluent « Off road » ont accroché l'adversaire et leurs positions s'affichent sur les écrans du système de combat du PC, mais pas seulement dit un officier « Là, j'ai récupéré l'ensemble des éléments qui m'ont été donnés pour pouvoir les mettre en place sur cette carte synthèse. Cette carte c'est notre plan B, en cas de brouillage ou en cas de chute du système, rien ne remplace le papier, rien ne le remplacera totalement ! Donc là on est ici au niveau du village de Suolovuopmi, on a fait beaucoup de tirs d'artillerie, on a du bleu qui commence à être trop exposé donc avant que ces unités ne soient détruites par l'artillerie adverse et on va les faire se replier sur une position secondaire. Donc pour l'instant, on arrive à coller à notre plan »  Le grand froid de nouveau sur le devant de la scèneSi le combat d'altitude, c'est l'ADN des chasseurs alpins, depuis l'Ukraine l'aptitude au grand froid est redevenu une priorité pour les forces de l'Otan. La Finlande qui vient d'intégrer l'Alliance possède 1 300 kilomètres de frontière avec la Russie. La 27ème Brigade de montagne a toujours conservé en son sein un noyau d'experts : le GMHM / le Groupe Militaire de Haute Montagne doté de 10 alpinistes chevronnés, à l'instar du major Sébastien Bohin « Le grand froid est revenu sur le devant de la scène il y a peu de temps. Après on a justement ce groupe militaire de haute montagne. C'est un petit peu un laboratoire et aussi une réserve d'expérience, ils savent quel type de réchaud il faut utiliser, quel type de duvet. On prend un petit peu ce qu'il y a de mieux chez les Norvégiens, chez les Finlandais et ce qui fait qu'au final on arrive à être plutôt bon. Là on est soutenu par l'armée finlandaise, ils nous ont prêté ces tentes, sortes de yourtes pour 10, 12 personnes… En fait eux n'utilisent pas de piquets pour ces petites tentes, on taille dans des bouleaux les piquets. Dans le grand froid, il faut être assez méticuleux, car les pièges sont partout. S'il y a un petit peu de vent, on peut rapidement attraper des gelures. Si vous attrapez des gelures, vous n'êtes plus opérationnel. Le soleil est aussi dangereux avec ce qu'on appelle l'ophtalmie des neiges, c'est la réverbération du soleil sur la neige. Et puis le but dans le grand froid c'est de ne pas transpirer car l'humidité va accentuer le froid. On a besoin de plus de calories qu'en temps normal. Donc c'est pour ça que les rations sont plus riches, autour de 5 000 calories/jour. Et vous voyez, on ne grossit pas. On a vraiment besoin d'apporter du carburant pour fonctionner dans le grand froid ».  Plateau d'Alta, le bout de la route du nord de la Norvège… température ressentie moins 20°, de la poudreuse jusqu'à la taille, le 93ème régiment d'artillerie de montagne tient la ligne, avec la section de l'adjudant-chef Thomas « On est sur une des positions de tir avec nos mortiers lourds qui nous servent à appuyer les forces amies qui sont en avant de notre position et qui eux sont directement au contact de l'ennemi. On est sur un beau plateau qui nous permet à la fois grâce aux mouvements de terrain, de ne pas être vu par l'ennemi, et d'avoir quelques vues plongeantes sur le compartiment de terrain d'où l'ennemi est censé arriver. On a déjà eu quatre missions de tir depuis ce matin qui nous ont permis de freiner l'ennemi dans son avancée, de lui causer des pertes, surtout des véhicules, et un peu d'attrition dans les rangs de l'ennemi. »Un exercice de l'Otan dans le grand Nord, c'est également l'occasion de tester de nouveaux équipements, le sergent Hugo nous présente son mortier de 120 mm monté sur ski : « Une grande première ! C'est la première fois qu'on utilise ce système pour déplacer le mortier. On est un peu le crash test, ça permettra de faire des versions suivantes améliorées. Ce qui, pour le moment, ne va pas c'est le temps d'installation qui est un peu long. Le danger principal en artillerie, c'est la contre-batterie. C'est-à-dire quand on tire, on est décelé et on peut du coup se prendre des salves adverses. Sauf que dans la neige comme ça, on met facilement 10 voire 15 minutes pour monter la pièce sur ces skis, c'est trop long. Cette nuit, on a fait le plein de carburant, on a récupéré de la nourriture, on a récupéré de l'eau et puis après on a eu une phase de déplacement avec ses aléas. Les véhicules qui s'embourbent. On n'a pas dormi, ça sort de ce qu'on a l'habitude de faire, où on a un peu plus chaud… là ça ravive, ça maintient jeune ! »L'infanterie a pris position à quelques centaines de mètres plus au Nord. Elle est équipée de missiles antichars Eryx d'une portée de 600 mètres, mais le capitaine Mayeul et ses hommes le savent, à si courte distance, s'ils se font repérer par les blindés adverses, ils se feront tailler en pièces, précise le capitaine Mayeul « Avec mon groupe, nous, on est situé sur un front de 500 mètres. On a fait des trous de combat. Le but pour nous, ça va être de s'enterrer au maximum pour être invisibles. Donc nous, ça fait maintenant 7 jours qu'on a été déployé ici. C'est mon trou de combat principal, celui qu'on arme en permanence. D'ici j'ai un visuel sur un autre trou de combat plus à l'est où seront situés deux hommes à moi avec une mitrailleuse et un autre plus à l'Ouest où j'ai une pièce anti-char dessus. Vous voyez la petite fenêtre qu'on a ? On voit quand même beaucoup de choses hein, d'Est en Ouest… On est chasseur alpin, c'est sûr ici c'est notre milieu de prédilection. On a l'habitude de travailler dans nos Alpes à nous, ça change un peu, le paysage est différent, c'est beaucoup plus plat. Mais les conditions sont sensiblement les mêmes, le froid, de la neige, on connaît cet environnement. »Dragon 24 sur les bords de la VistuleVolet Arctique des exercices de l'OTAN, Nordic Response s'est achevé ce mardi (19 mars 2024), mais Steadfast defender 2024 est loin d'être achevé. Une force de réaction rapide vient de franchir la Vistule…Le général américain Randolph Staudenraus, responsable des opérations du commandement militaire de l'Otan est venu en personne superviser cette séquence dénommée « Dragon 24 », « l'Otan est prête ! », martèle-t-il « L'Otan c'est génial ! Il y a beaucoup de défis à chaque fois, mais c'est pour cela que cet exercice Steadfast defender rassemble 90 000 soldats, marins et aviateurs. Nous devons comprendre ces défis, donc si nous ne nous réunissons pas dans des exercices de cette taille-là, si nous ne comprenons pas où se situent ces défis, nous ne pourrons pas les surmonter. Et l'Otan l'a fait. Surtout, depuis l'invasion de l'Ukraine, l'Otan a réussi à élever son niveau. Si nous n'avions pas pu rassembler ici autant de force, nous ne serions pas la force collective dont nous avons besoin ».  L'Otan dans ses scénarios n'hésite plus à pointer Moscou comme adversaire potentiel. Avec Dragon 24, l'objectif assigné aux troupes est justement de se projeter à la frontière polonaise pour repousser une force adverse. Un signalement stratégique avec 18 000 soldats dont 700 Français commandés par le colonel Philippe Leduc, et intégrés à une brigade polonaise « On montre bien qu'on est capable de se déployer très rapidement chez un allié. Ici, c'est du char, c'est du véhicule de combat d'infanterie. On n'est pas dans des forces légères, on est dans des forces qui sont blindées, qui sont puissantes, qui ont une bonne capacité de franchissement en tout-terrain. Et qui sont parfaitement alignées avec ce que déploient nos alliés puisque nos alliés polonais, nos alliés allemands, nos alliés américains ont tous du char lourd, ont tous du véhicule de combat d'infanterie et on va conduire pendant une quinzaine de jours un exercice qui nous amène à traverser la quasi-totalité de la Pologne. Ici, vous êtes sur une phase qui est extrêmement importante puisqu'il s'agit d'une phase de franchissement d'une coupure humide, en l'occurrence la Vistule qui est le principal fleuve polonais. Mon groupement tactique va franchir la Vistule et ensuite va poursuivre sa progression plein Est. La France est vraiment droite dans ses bottes en termes de capacités déployées, en termes de capacités à s'intégrer et en termes d'être au bon niveau de rendez-vous de force déployée par rapport aux objectifs de signalement stratégique et d'interactions concrètes sur le terrain avec nos alliés. »  Réapprendre la logistique de grande ampleurBarges et ponts flottants embarquent les chars Abram américains, les Léopard allemands et c'est au tour d'un escadron de 13 chars Leclerc de franchir la Vistule… Une première pour le capitaine Vianney du 5ème régiment de Dragon : « C'est un exercice de grand volume. J'avais participé à ce type d'exercice uniquement en France avec des unités françaises. Là, c'est la première fois que je le réalise dans un contexte interallié. Comme quand on apprend à jouer un sport collectif, il y a toujours des temps d'apprentissage. On fait des exercices très répétitifs pour finalement réussir à jouer efficacement ensemble et à faire du beau jeu ensemble. »Pour l'Otan, le dernier exercice d'une telle ampleur c'était Reforger en 1988. Au-delà du combat, il faut donc aujourd'hui réapprendre à déplacer des armées. Pierre Schill, chef d'État-major de l'armée de Terre est venu observer la manœuvre « Le déplacement de très grandes unités sur des très grandes distances, avec toute la logistique que ça implique, les franchissements, la coordination qui est nécessaire, c'est quelque chose qui est une mécanique qui doit être extrêmement bien huilée. C'est très concrètement des savoir-faire qu'il faut redécouvrir. En théorie, nous y sommes prêts. Mais concrètement, comment ça se passe ? Concrètement, qu'est-ce que ça veut dire que de prendre la route avec une rame de plusieurs dizaines de véhicules ? Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire que de prendre les trains ? Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire un véhicule qui se perd, un véhicule qui tombe en panne sur le bord de la route, comment on fait pour le dépanner ? Après je ne parle pas des éléments plus tactiques, le franchissement, plus de 300 mètres de pont sur la Vistule, ce que ça représente. Concrètement, il faut le réapprendre. »  Le franchissement d'un fleuve, c'est une mécanique de précision, une chorégraphie interarmes qui s'effectue toujours sous haute protection, précise le colonel Leduc, « un franchissement de cette ampleur, on ne le réalise pas directement sous le feu adverse, sinon il arrive ce qui est arrivé en Ukraine, des pertes conséquentes et un échec. Nos alliés polonais ont mobilisé un certain nombre de moyens. Il y a des pièces anti-aériennes qui sécurisent l'ensemble du site. Vous avez des hélicoptères d'appui polonais qui ont fait des passes et vous avez l'armée de l'air polonaise qui symboliquement a fait plusieurs passes avec ses F 16 et ses SU 22 pour sécuriser la zone de manière à ce que les bataillons franchissent le plus rapidement possible le fleuve et reprennent leur progression pleine Est ».Il y a d'autant plus urgence à refaire ses gammes que certains scénarios, comme l'a récemment rappelé le ministre allemand de la Défense Boris Pistorius, font état d'un possible conflit entre l'Europe et la Russie, d'ici la fin de la décennie. Dans ces conditions « ma mission est d'éviter la guerre », dit le général d'armée Pierre Schill, patron de l'armée de Terre française, « l'enjeu et c'est le fond de la stratégie de l'Otan aujourd'hui, ce n'est pas de dire qu'on va gagner une guerre. C'est de faire en sorte que par le découragement, l'Otan veut se montrer suffisamment forte pour éviter une montée aux extrêmes et à l'affrontement. Bon, maintenant, on sait que les actions, elles peuvent être directes et frontales, et elles peuvent se faire de manière plus hybride. Il faut donc se montrer fort pour dissuader. Ce découragement, il repose fondamentalement sur la crédibilité. Et donc il y a un enjeu à être de plus en plus crédible. Ce soir, il faut que nous soyons prêts. Demain matin, il faut que nous soyons encore plus prêts et le jour d'après encore plus. »
