Thank you chief Rabbi for standing in the gap for all South Africans by taking every opportunity to educate this nation on the importance to stand with Israel. As a Christian I salute you. May God protect you and your family.

[@celestepenny3616]

Yes, and especially this - 'standing in the gap'! Thank you, chief Rabbi, for taking a stand, and speaking out publicly, in hour of need, both for Israel after October 7th, and for us. I am ashamed of our churches who were silent. Waiting for what? Surely, we do not put our faith in princes/politicians?!

[@tsvikukenheim6826]

The two South African parties are coming together to be part of a united decision to work together for the good of South Africa. At the moment HASHEM Is busy with the whole world to counter the hatred of the GOYIM against the Jews by instigating them to the ingathering of the Jewish people to HIS Land, The Land of Israel. The NATIONAL UNITY of the two parties is a BIG SIGN from Hashem to the Jewish people. This is your chance to be able to fly out of South Africa.

[@tsvikukenheim6826]

May Hashem bless the Jewish people in South Africa

[@onestepatatime-x7v]

Only the Jewish people? That sounds odd.​@@tsvikukenheim6826

[@TrevorBagley-c6s]

Thank you Chief Rabbi for your willingness to accept the invitation to attend the GNU inauguration. As a Christian believer and one who stands firmly with Israel I have the deep conviction that the blessing that Rabbi invoked over the new leadership and our nation has been heard by the Great and Almighty G-d of Israel. Great blessings are in the offing for SA and I'm hopeful and excited to be part of this great nation of ours.SHALOM

[@ritalock4496]

Amen

[@charleneschumacher5861]

The Lord God is greater than any political party, and for you to have prayed at an event with the ANC, is a miracle. The strongest weapon we as Jews and Christians have is prayer, and we must pray daily for our children, ourselves, and our country. God bless you and your family, Rabbi. God bless Israel

[@louisenieuwmeijer5337]

I was enormously proud to see that you participated Chief Rabbi. Your words were wise. Being gracious in the presence of injustice and evil is outside the understanding of the world. You are blessed and you are a blessing.

[@mandisntlabathi7814]

Thank you for attending the inauguration Rabbi,and thank you for blessing SA. The territory of both the ANC and the EFF has been whittled away quite significantly by God,like He did with Israel when they turned away from God(2 Kings 10v32-33). He has taken the authority to rule from them..and so if they do not mend their ways,they will cease to exist.God has blessed SA because He knows most of us love and bless Israel! We love you Rabbi..keep doing good and fighting God s battles!!

[@zeldavanderlinde1908]

Proud and may our country be Blessed

[@welmaflint8181]

I stand with you Rabi, God bless you, Jews everywhere, Isrea and I pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. Stay standing strong

[@lydiaramafoko8745]

​@@Joeblogs-x8uCrap is what is in your heart if you view God and His people especially Israel 🇮🇱 like that.

[@carlahartmann6729]

Rabbi our prayers are never in vane. They turn our enemies into friends. God bless our Jewish community.

[@cecildamons9523]

As a believer in the fulfilment of God's Word today with Israel and the church of God, I was really blessed to hear God's Word put on the Lambstand today. May the God of Abraham, Iscaas and Israel to continue to bless His Holy people🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

Thank you Chief Rabbi Goldstein. Please request that religious instruction be reinstituted in the government schools.

[@palmtrees777]

Very good advice! Have been teaching for more than fiveteen years at a farmschool. No sense of time, no discipline! As teachers, you couldn't discipline learners. Thanks to the Father in Heaven, I have reached 60 and could go on pension. You are not just an educator, but also a social worker, preacher and nurse! Did enjoy my career but "enough is enough"..... Special blessings. Stay safe and keep well!

[@Princelargo]

May God bless South Africa. May God defeat all evil. Amen

[@lindasaunderson4428]

CHIEF RABBI GOLDSTEIN do not doubt for one moment. Look up , our Heavenly Father has given you to South Africa for a time like this, courageous, wise and filled with the Holy Spirit. Many are praying with and for you and all Jews where ever they are! ❤

[@alettasinoff763]

As an exSouth African, I was inspired listening to the Chief Rabbi wrestle with his decision. Thank you Rabbi for this valuable lesson.

[@ronelltofte1665]

I agree with your statement on "feeling conflicted". The DA should watch their back. They must not back down when they disagree with ANC on matters of principal. If they do not heed these warnings they might just find themselves used, abused and discarded. Their strong voice of dissent and insistence on holding the government accountable may be lost and it may also lead to the demise of the DA. Which would be a great loss to the country. It will also hasten the slide of this once great country into one of utter failure and anarchy.

[@LynetteS1]

Wisdom triumphs every time. Thank you Chief Rabbi for being that voice.

[@FONMBAKWA]

Such an insurmountable bounty of wisdom. Thank Chief Rabbi and may HaShem Continue to Bless you with Knowledge and discernment.
