Returning to G_d
An article in The Jerusalem Post:
My comment:
We have plenty of examples of how badly we fared when we tried to assimilate and take over the methods and lifestyle of others while we abandoned our own.
We read about this in the stories of Purim and Hannukah; we saw what happened to the enlightened and sophisticated German and European Jews during the Holocaust. We can see what happens to the liberal American Jews today and how “well” it serves Israel that it became the 51st State of the USA.
We could even apply the words of the Torah on the Biden government, how the Creator is hardening their hearts to show their contempt against Israel with each passing day.
Getting closer to God does not necessarily mean religious observance and practice. It means returning to the original Jewish method that facilitates us becoming similar to reality’s single governing force.
This similarity is achieved — as our sages and the Torah explain — through fulfilling the principle of “Loving others as ourselves” and building and sustaining unity and mutual guarantee through that “love of others.”
Then, we won’t only get closer to this sigle force understanding its singular and predetermined plan, but we can also harness and use this unique, singular force for positive and constructive goals and purpose.
Then, through our positive example — showcased through our “supernatural” unity and mutual guarantee achieved above and against the egotistic, individualistic, and hateful human nature, we will also lead everybody else toward salvation and survival.
