The Ultimate Sacrifice Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
The Rebbe wept profoundly as he spoke these words:
"The entire being of Moses was the Torah he brought to his people. The Torah was more than something he taught. It was what he was. It was his G-d within him.
"Yet when it came to a choice between the Torah or his people, he chose his people. He said, " 'And if you do not forgive them, then wipe me out from Your book that You have written!'
"His whole being was the Torah, but deep into his essence, at the very core, was his oneness with his people."
