In 5751, Rabbi Wagner was in Manchester with a few other
bochurim for a short visit, for the chasuna of a friend. This was during the
gulf war, and the Rebbe’s position was the topic of many conversations. Thus it
happened that, while they were riding somewhere on a bus, they were approached
by a few Poylishe Chassidim who were questioning us about the Rebbe’s position.
“Is it true that the Rebbe said that Eretz Yisroel is the
safest place?” he was asked. he responded: “The Rebbe always points out that
this is a clear Possuk, that Eretz Yisroel is the land where “Einei Hashem
Elokecho boh meireishis hashonoh ve’ad achris shonoh”.
“I also know what it says in the Possuk”, was his
rejoinder, “but I’m speaking practically now”.
