Very sad news - Jack Mann, legendary surviving member of the Long Range Desert Group, the SAS, the SBS and SOE has sadly passed away, aged 100. Jack was a close friend, and many of you will have met him at my book launches. He featured in several of my books, the first of which was The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, as Jack served as one of Anders Lassen VC's indefatigable warriors. He was also a stalwart deputy to SAS commander Roy Farran DSO and they remained life-long friends. It was always an honour and priviledge to spend time with Jack, either hearing his stories of the war or of the remarkable life he lead thereafter. Jack executed behind the lines missions in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe, and he remained a stalwart supporter of the SAS Regimental Association, being a regular at commemorations and reunions, as these photos testify. He was modest, self-effacing and humble until the end. Rest in peace, Jack. We will remember them. Please share.

Heading to Israel and Jerusalem with the family.

This will be my kids’ first time in the Holy City. Even at their young age, Jerusalem and Israel is already part of their story.

They know it from the Pesach Seder, from Birchas Hamazon, and from the weekly parsha.

Jerusalem is not just a place
on a map. It is the eternal capital of the Jewish people, a city that has lived in our prayers, our traditions, and our hearts for thousands of years.

784 years ago, on this very day, the Talmud was burned in Paris.

Today, it returned to speak in French.

At the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, we marked a historic milestone: for the first time in history, the complete Babylonian Talmud has been translated into French.

For me, it was far more than a ceremony.

It was personal.

On 9 Tammuz 1242, twenty-four wagonloads of Talmud manuscripts were burned in Paris. The flames were meant to silence a civilization.

They failed.

Nearly eight centuries later, the Talmud speaks once again in the language of France.

This historic edition was edited, written, and translated by the Steinsaltz Center, published by Biblieurope, and made possible through the generous support of the Patrick & Lina Drahi Foundation.

It continues the lifelong vision of my father, Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz, whose mission was simple and profound:

“Let My People Know.”

After the burning of the Talmud, Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg wrote the elegy Sha’ali Serufah Ba’esh, “Ask, O Thou Burned by Fire.”

Today, I felt history answer:

Ask, you who returned from fire.

Once your parchments were given to the flames in Paris.

Today your scrolls have returned to houses of study.

The fire could not extinguish your voice.

For from your ashes, your letters have returned to speak.

Some moments belong not only to those who witness them, but to history itself.

Today was one of those moments.

אירועים אחרונים בירושלים ובמקומות נוספים בארץ מחייבים אותנו לומר דברים ברורים.

חילול השם הגדול ביותר אינו תמיד בא ברעש. לפעמים הוא מתחיל במעשה אחד של ביזוי: איש דת שזוכה לביזיון, צליין שמאוים, כנסייה שמושחתת, נוצרי שמותקף במרחב הציבורי של ישראל.

בארץ ישראל, ובירושלים על אחת כמה וכמה, מעשה כזה לעולם אינו נשאר פרטי. העם היהודי כולו נושא את הבושה. שם שמים מתחלל לעיני העמים.

אבי, הרב עדין אבן ישראל שטיינזלץ, לימד שרשות הרבים איננה הפקר. היא רכוש השייך לכל אחד, ולכל אדם יש חלק בה. ואבי כתב במפורש שהשחתת רשות הרבים, כאשר מבקר מן החוץ רואה את הפגמים ומרגיש סלידה כלפי העם כולו, היא בעצמה חילול השם, "כאשר מחללים את כבוד ישראל בעמים".

ואם כך הוא ביחס לרשות הרבים הגשמית, על אחת כמה וכמה ביחס לרשות הרבים הרוחנית והמוסרית. כבוד ישראל, כבודה של תורה, ושמו של הקב"ה בעיני העולם, אינם הפקר. הם שייכים לכולנו.

התורה מצווה: "ולא תחללו את שם קדשי ונקדשתי בתוך בני ישראל." זהו הרף. לא רק להימנע מעבירה, אלא לחיות כך ששמו של הקב"ה ייעשה אהוב ומכובד בעיני הבריות.

נוצרים בישראל צריכים להיות מוגנים, מכובדים, ויכולים ללכת בבטחה. אנשי דת, צליינים, כנסיות, מנזרים ומקומות קדושים לנצרות צריכים לזכות ליחס של כבוד. לא רק מפני שהעולם מביט, אלא מפני שהקב"ה מביט.

כבוד ישראל אינו נבנה משנאה. התורה אינה מתחזקת מהשפלה. שם שמים אינו מתקדש באלימות.

כל דבר פחות מזה אינו גבורה. הוא בושה.

Recent incidents in Jerusalem and elsewhere in Israel make it necessary to speak plainly.

The gravest form of chillul Hashem, the desecration of God’s name, is not always announced with noise and spectacle. Sometimes it begins with a single act of contempt: a priest humiliated, a pilgrim threatened, a church defaced, a Christian attacked in the public spaces of Israel.

In Jerusalem, no such act remains private. It does not stay between one aggressor and one victim. The Jewish people carry its shame. The name of God is diminished in the eyes of the nations.

My father taught that the public domain is never ownerless. The street, the road, the shared space, all of it belongs to everyone. Whoever damages it does not damage “nothing.” He damages his neighbour, his people, and ultimately himself.

The same is true, even more deeply, of the moral and spiritual public domain. The honour of Israel, the dignity of Torah, and the name of God in the eyes of the world are not ownerless. They belong to all of us. When a Jew humiliates or attacks a Christian in Israel, he is not only harming that person. He is damaging something that belongs to the entire Jewish people.

The Torah commands us: “You shall not desecrate My holy name, and I shall be sanctified among the children of Israel.”

That is the standard. Not merely to avoid wrongdoing, but to live in such a way that God’s name is honoured, loved, and respected in the world.

To attack Christians in Israel is the opposite of that commandment. It is the opposite of Torah. It is the opposite of Jewish dignity. At a time when Israel is being watched under a magnifying glass, such acts become one of the gravest forms of public chillul Hashem.

We must say this clearly, without hesitation and without excuses: Christians in Israel must be protected, respected, and able to walk freely and safely. Clergy, pilgrims, churches, monasteries, and Christian holy places must be treated with dignity. Not only because the world is watching, but because God is watching.

The honour of Israel is not defended by hatred.

The Torah is not strengthened by humiliation.

The name of God is not sanctified through violence.

Kiddush Hashem, the sanctification of God’s name, means that our conduct should make the world say: blessed is the people whose Torah teaches such dignity, such restraint, and such reverence for every human being created in the image of God.

Anything less is not strength. It is shame.

גילוי נאות: אינני יכול לשאת עוד את התמונות של כל מיני נדבנים מצטלמים ליד שורדי שבי עם המתנות שארגנו להם ומפיצים את התמונה לתקשורת.
הפורמט של מתן בסתר הוא שזה נעשה בסתר. הפורמט של צדקה הוא שמטרתה היא להיטיב את מצבו של המקבל ולא את דימויו הציבורי של הנותן.
זה דוחה כל כך, די.
