Stand and Deliver

My previous post got me thinking about assimilation, and people drifting away from the way of Torah, and what could be done. A little inspiration was directed my way.
Expounding on the verse: Do not shame (her), although your mother be old..

From the Schottenstein edition, Talmud Yerushalmi, Berachos, 94A:

….T’ Zeira said: If your nation has become old, i.e. enfeebled in the performance of mitzvos, stand up and repair (the breach)! If they are lackadaisical regarding a certain mitzvah, invigorate them, just as Elkanah did…

and from 94B:

it is time to act for Hashem; they have nullified your law……R’Shimon Ben Yochai says: If you see that the people’s hands have despaired of clinging to the Torah, - stand and strengthen your hold on it exceedingly, and you will receive the reward of all of them.

Enough said.
