The Rebbe's Roadmap to Peace — Episode 3

Israel faces constant security threats and high-stakes decisions— military action, hostage negotiations, or peace proposals. In tough moments, how can Israel’s leaders know where the red lines truly are?

This film explores the 329 Security Doctrine—Torah’s foundational principle for Israel’s defense, as articulated by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and why it matters now more than ever.

Discover the profound security principle hidden in the Code of Jewish Law, Chapter 329. The doctrine teaches that even the slightest compromise—an incursion for mere “hay and straw”—must be treated as a mortal threat. Even the smallest breach of security — an incursion for “hay and straw” — must be treated as a matter of life and death. Why? Because any foothold creates a strategic vulnerability that can endanger the entire land

Through historical sources, rare archival footage, and real-world case studies, this film shows how the Rebbe applied the 329 Doctrine to:

• Israel’s borders and strategic terrain 
• Military and defense decision-making 
• Diplomatic negotiations and peace agreements 
• The Camp David Accords, Sinai withdrawal, and autonomy proposals 
• The enduring importance of land, borders, and deterrence
  
  

Narrated by Rabbi Elkanah Shmotkin, the film features an immersive exploration of Israel’s strategic geography, integrating satellite imagery, archival recordings, and cutting-edge visuals to demonstrate how Torah-based security principles apply to modern warfare and geopolitics.

This is a deep dive into Israel’s security doctrine, Jewish law and national defense, and the timeless framework that prioritizes physical security over promises, terrain over rhetoric, and clarity over chaos.

329 is more than a number.It is a blueprint for Israel’s defense — and for enduring peace.
