At the end of a brigade commander’s course held Thursday in the “City of Training Bases” in the Negev, the soldiers began to sing the popular song “Ani Maamin,” (I believe), Channel 10 News reported Monday evening.
Yael Zechariah, who was watching the ceremony, told Channel 10 that the spontaneous song was “very surprising and certainly not according to the ceremony, and it seemed that the commander of the ceremony also got confused for a moment because he did nothing to stop this singing.”
MK Bezalel Smotrich responded incredulously to the report. “What, have you lost your mind? They sing ‘Ani Maamin’ in a Jewish state, and for this the IDF should apologize? A handful of idiots from the extremist faction of the secular public are shouting a bit and the IDF is running to apologize … crazy people have come down from the roof … We will continue to sing until the Messiah comes … ”
An IDF spokesman stated, “This is an exceptional incident, which will be followed by a sharpening of procedures at the base and in the various units to which the soldiers are assigned.”
The lyrics of the song translate to: I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah.

I think they should sing this song at every tkes hashbaa!
Now I fully understand why we’re still in Golus
Opposition to the ***establishment*** of the state and opposition to it’s continued existence, are two different things. When the Rebbe was an engineer, he wrote a paper explaining how a person could keep Shabbos while serving on a ship in the Israeli navy (yes, they have one, tiny though, it is). Also during on election cycle, the Rebbe urged people to support the Daled, Party. These are hardly the things someone would support, if they were against the continued existence of the state once it ***was, already*** established. Sure the Rebbe wanted it to become more in line with Torah,… Read more »
..but our own Ani maamin that if I recall correctly I even heard the Rebbe sing once in a recording.. so Kol hakavod to the amazing Chayalim… they are our soldiers, regardless of the secularists.
What’s she saying???!!
Do you have any problem with the fact that Jews DIED in the holocaust singing this song? That’s what I have a problem with. That they died. Not that there are still Jews who sing this song with fervor and soul.
What is this?
Youג€™re no different. If you are Lubavitcher you likely agree with the rebbes ideological fierce opposition to the establishment of a Jewish state due to the simple principle that the Torah, not a country binds Jews together. (and the support express was pragmatic).
Yet you would gladly benifit from Israel. Thatג€™s what all charedim do.
How can you Benefit off the states resources and condemn Jewish pride at the same time. Secularism ours antithetical and is based on circular logic. The left are gross and their peaceful mask isn’t fooling me.
Moshiach NOW
