Israel thirsts for comfort and correction

We have the power to offer Israel a deep spiritual correction based on a long tradition

of the holiness of life, sincere concern for the poor and others, love of people and modesty

Judaism is the spiritual tradition of the people of Israel
Its roots are here, in the land, like its roots in the landscapes of the land
The fruits and flavors she sanctifies are from here
Seasoned with the sounds, thoughts and views of world greats from all the diasporas of Israel and beyond
Judaism is not a locked garden, and its type of Torah is not a sealed type - but a type of living water, springing forth, renewing and overflowing with all good
The ancient Torah is a revolutionary moral gospel for the world
It obliges the person to pay attention to his life, his soul and his environment - from his food to his influence on the public space
It defines the other person, every person, as created in the image of God
Hence, Judaism already in the ancient voice of the Genesis creation story - sanctifies man
Harming another person is like harming the image of God
The ancient Jewish ideas were revolutionary for their time, and unfortunately humanity has not yet reached their level
We still don't keep the earth we got, this natural and green paradise
We still fight each other, for land and material resources
We live in a culture that worships material wealth and tramples the non-Western world in its endless pursuit
The screen from which you are reading these lines was created by disenfranchised people in the Far East
And yet, in the face of the materialistic and greedy culture of the West, the human soul revolts
People still yearn for spirit, meaning, love, closeness, friendship and community
There are many spiritual teachings in the New Age bazaar.
There are many social correction theories from all kinds of places and cultures in the world
There are many community models, and even different forms of love
All these are to be congratulated
In a mosque, a church, a temple on the banks of the Ganges, a Tibetan monastery or a synagogue - people make room for their soul, devote time to the spark of their soul
This richness of the spirit's aspiration for meaning and humanity is the world's repair potential

Within the rivers of international spiritual wealth - there is one path whose language is mainly Hebrew.
This path, the path of the wisdom of the people of Israel, is an expression of life experience and Jewish wisdom accumulated over thousands of years
This path is ours, it was written and designed by our ancestors in the Land of Israel and its postcards
It flows through our souls in the intergenerational transmission of every Jewish family - Seder night, Shabbat rest, Yom Kippur
Each family and what was successful and chose to pass on from generation to generation
But the totality of these transmissions - in writing with emotion and orally - is the complete tradition of Israel, it is the Torah of Israel in its ignorance
