‘May God Avenge Their Blood’
What we must remember when we mourn murdered Jews.
By Rabbi Meir Soloveichik
Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt; how he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all that were enfeebled in thy rear, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God. — Deuteronomy 25
And the LORD said unto Moses: “Write this for a memorial in the book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it “God is my battle-standard [Adonai nissi].”
