Israelis always seem to want to know what Americans and American Jews think about what's going on in Israel.
And I am always willing to share my impressions of what I think, however I am not sure Israelis want to hear my heart on the matter of “What is Israel's role to the world”.
I come from a place in America that is known for their kindness and Apathy.
My impression of the average Israeli is that when you take them away from work, they are the kindest, most apathetic caring people I have ever met.
But when they go to work it turns into screw you and the horse you rode in on.
In this lies the biggest part of the problem, you see when the missels come, or any other type of threat they come together as one man with one heart. Just like it was during the times of the temples.
However they think it is ok to break things down to work and personal relationships but that is the biggest part of the problem. By segregating it this way they are saying in business it's ok to do to others that which you hate, because it's for livelihood, and everyone else does it.
This is wrong for two reasons, first it breaks the deal made with the Creator as he gave us this land and only asked one thing which we have, in a grotesque way, made a part of our life. Doing to Others that which we hate.
Secondly what happens in Israel in one way or the other spreads to the rest of the world. Everything that we do to each other here in Israel is happening in the rest of the world, in some cases worse in other cases not near as bad.
The rest of the world, the Nations of the world through hate and other means applies pressure on Israel but Israelis are thick skinned and blind to the anti Semitic actions of the nation's and keep doing the very things that we are not supposed to do, as agreed upon between The Creator and Israel.
Now is the time when our actions and desire for the same kind of unity we have when attached, without being attacked. By doing this we spread our connection to the Nations and then instead of trying to eliminate us they will want us to teach them.
How do we do this you ask? This is what the wisdom of Kabbalah teaches us. Don't like the term Wisdom of Kabbalah, that's fine according to Gammatria Elochem and Hatava are the same value meaning G-D and Nature are the same. So call it Nature's wisdom or the wisdom of connection, or Unconditional love, that does not matter only our connection is what does.
I pray the Light will give us all the strength to find that connection every day.
