If someone comes to kill is, we understand that we have the right, and even the responsibility, of self-defense (Berakhot 64b, Sanhedrin 74a). When others are threatened, we are called to help them as well. "Do not stand idly by your neighbor's pain." (Leviticus 19:17-19) This is not an option. It is a mitzvah.
Come for a dose of inspiration from some of the greatest (and at times oddest) minds of history. The table is set. Come eat.
