Torah perspective
Two battalions of the Chashmonaim brigade, one regular and one reserve, are operating together in the North for the first time. The name recalls the Hasmoneans, who showed that the strongest defense of the Jewish people is not military might alone but the fusion of Torah and courage. The Gemara teaches that Torah scholars increase peace in the world. These soldiers, dedicated to both learning and defending, embody that truth. In this season of Tishrei, when we stand before the Judge, their example reminds us that the highest service unites heaven and earth, study and action, in a single sacred mission.
