Torah perspective

The question 'Are you Jewish?' asked by children attacking a Berlin shopkeeper who hung posters against antisemitism carries the same old hate. The Torah's answer is not to hide but to stand publicly as a Jew. 'Do not be terrified' (לא תחתון) is the eternal call. The Chassidic masters taught that the main battle against evil is simply not to be afraid of it. When one person refuses to let hate go unanswered, the darkness retreats. These children learned hate from somewhere, and the shopkeeper's response teaches them something else: that a Jew does not flinch. His posters are a quiet act of Kiddush Hashem, sanctifying God's name by refusing to let antisemitism go unanswered.
