We say ‘Tshuasam Hayisa Lanetzach’. Chassidim say this means that G-d is always giving us strength to be the winner of the war. ‘Vesikvosom Bechol Dor Vador’, because every generation has another fight, every generation has other hopes. I’ll tell you something very strong, the old Bobover Rebbe said something very holy. He says that there were great tremendous heroes who knew how to duel. Today we fight atomic weapons, even that is already a joke today because we are much further than that. But imagine, a great hero from the twelfth century who is mamesh top man dueling will come to the world and say ‘listen brother, I’m going to bring peace. Just give me a sword brother, I’m going to show them'. It’s very sweet but that is not where it’s today. So the Bobover says that there were a lot of tzaddikim who knew how to duel evil but nebech, that was in the twelfth century. They might have known how to bring peace in their time but today we have different weapons. Therefore, as much as tzaddikim in former generations were so holy, in every generation there are new weapons. So every generation must train new tzaddikim to know how to fight the weapons of today. Holy words from the Bobover Rebbe.
