Neshamah: The Jewish Consciousness
Neshamah: The Jewish Consciousness
Adolf Hitler (ימח שמו) claimed that the Jews bring a consciousness to humanity which causes difficulty to the gentile soul. Well, this says a lot about what the biggest leader of the Goyim (1933-1945) thought of the level of morality that the Goyim were at. According to the followers of Hitler, Jews are worthy of being hated because they bring morality into this world.
Objectively, the Torah was given to the Nation of Israel who accepted it without knowing what was in it. Subjectively, Jews contributed greatly to Progressive causes which are not consistently aligned with the values of the Torah. But what both sides have in common is that they’re Jews.
The morality of humanity only exists because there are Jews, with a Torah, in this world. The Anti-Israel and Anti-Torah crowds are fully aware of this and have tried many things to separate the Nation of Israel from the Torah. This includes indoctrinating Jewish people with non-Jewish values which can be traced back to the era of Hellenism. It can also include not allowing Jews to say the Sh’ma in the synagogue as done in one era of Persian history, and it can also include attempting to force Jewish people to convert to another religion which has happened in Portugal, Spain, Germany, Russia, Bukharia, China, Algeria, Ethiopia, and the Arabian Peninsula.
The Nations of The World are jealous that the Jews are the valued nation of Hashem that selected us from all of his nations in the world and decided to give us His Torah. They can not handle the guilt that would come with the ability to be fully aware that the values of the Goyim are useless and pathetic.
Now, this doesn’t mean that there is anything inherently wrong with them (in terms of DNA); rather, their lifestyles are fundamentally wrong especially in the area of idolatry and immorality. Therefore, all of the nations of the world need the Torah to show them tbe light. This is the significance of קבלת התורה.
