Here is a randomly chosen question from the list: What about the historical persecution of Jews in Russia? We cannot forget what happened to Russian Jewry under communism, which was started by Jews who abandoned Torah. The pogroms, the forced military service of Jewish children for 25 years, the destruction of Yeshivot. When we see Russia being punished by the world today, do we see the hand of Hashem in this for what they did to our people?

Our recent Russian Jewish history, from brutal Cantonist decrees to Communism, offers critical lessons. Communism, originated by wicked Jews (e.g., Marx, Trotsky), used the Yevsektsiya—Jewish communists—to brutally destroy Torah Judaism. Worse than gentiles, they hunted rabbis, closed yeshivas, burned books, criminalized Torah study (a capital offense), and turned Jews into informers against their own families. Yet, figures like Rabbi Galinsky exemplified mesiras nefesh, spiritually thriving even in Siberia. HaKadosh Baruch Hu governs the world precisely; all persecutors of Am Yisrael will face divine justice. History reveals no coincidence; Hashem orchestrates events, often linking current tormentors to past oppressors. Suffering acts as His wake-up call when we abandon Torah, neglect rebuke, or assimilate, reminding us of mutual accountability and the necessity of teshuva.
