Thats why its surmountable. Hashem wants us to bring it to Him.<br />i believe i am being realistic or real. i have to be. i live in a muslim country where there is not a single syngagoue and no dip ties. my studies are only via the net, as its a 'borderless' world.<br /> (i stand corrected if i am wrong), but i believe Hashem gave 6000 years and now the jewish year is 5774. so redemption cannot be centuries away. <br />May everything be well for the jewish people in all ways.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-2117584625751204292013-09-27T16:25:18.315+03:002013-09-27T16:25:18.315+03:00rainbow, as Shy says, you got it wrong.

Sometimes they are very serious mistakes and it takes centuries or more for G-d to help us try again. If we goof it up, G-d won't come to the rescue like Superman. He'll watch behind the wings, make sure we're not totally destroyed and then give the survivors plenty of time, generations, centuries for another chance.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-70080637103461512682013-09-27T15:50:01.317+03:002013-09-27T15:50:01.317+03:00Rainbow, I would love to have heard you try your n...Rainbow, I would love to have heard you try your no-worries address to Jews on the train to Auschwitz or to the 10s of 1000s of Israeli families who have lost loved ones to war or to terror.<br /><br />We have a lot to worry about specifically because overall our people seem to be interested in making life difficult.<br /><br />Yes, when the Geulah finally arrives, our worries will be over.

looking a...blessed shabbat batya, to you and yours.<br />looking at it from the opposite side, meaning from our non jewish side, i and perhaps others like me, perhaps dont understand why you worry so much. Hashem will never let you all down. ofcourse the jews can choose the easy way or the difficult way, but redemption will come, either way. i know its heartbreaking, after so many progroms, and so many righteous souls sacrficed, there are among your people who dont seem to internalise what you do or feel.<br />regarding politicians, there was once a statement from an indian politican, who said, 'once you enter politics you leave your shame and dignity at home'. and that is so for us of the non jewish world. <br />many of us noahides cannot say openly we are noahides you know. because anyone connected to the j people, are marked. and those who know, i mean not authorities but family members and friends, we tend to be ostracised. so our only hope is the light to all nations. blessings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
