THE JEWISH IDEA
Volume 2
THE FINAL REDEMPTION
(Excerpts)
Do the renaissance of the Jews’ land, its sovereignty, and
the ingathering of the exiles not constitute the slightest fulfillment of G-d’s
promise: “The L-rd your G-d will then bring back your remnants and have mercy
on you. He will once again gather you
from among the nations where He scattered you” (Deut. 30:3)? Do enormous, unbelievable miraculous victories
which occurred in four days and in six days, in which we walked on the high
places of our enemies who are as numerous as the sand by the sea, and who
possess mighty weapons, not constitute signs unparalleled in their
openness? Do our being raised up from
the unparalleled lowliness of the Holocaust, the donning of raiment’s of the
national glory, the destruction of the enemy who rose up to annihilate us and
the liberation of our holy lands who return we never have dared hope for, have
so little significance? All this we saw,
open miracles and wonders, and not only did we not recognize the miracles but
treated them with scorn.
How could we have failed to prostrate ourselves in thanks,
in acknowledgement and joy, in recognition and admiration, in praise and glory
to our Maker? Could the end of days be
any more obvious? We were smitten with
blindness and did not absorb what our eyes saw.
Our senses were blunted by the exile sickness, which saps the spirit and
turns the Jewish People into the one of whom it was said, “You hear but you do
not understand. You see, but you do not
perceive” (Isaiah 6:9). G-d have mercy!
Many fine people ask a question: How can we say that the events that have
occurred in our day and the establishment of a Jewish state involve the hand of
G-d, when those who established the state are wicked heretics? The answer is that indeed, most of them were
wicked, spiteful renegades who banded together against G-d and Torah in an
effort to cast off the yoke of Heaven; and they shall forever pay for their
malicious sins, especially for murdering the souls of tens of thousands (and more)
of innocent Jews who came up to the Land, their Torah with them. These are Jews who won out over the nations
in the exile only to be vanquished by wicked Jews, an woe to those advocates of
“groundless love” who try to cover up for these evildoers and their deeds.
Even so, however, none of this has any connection to the
establishment of the state, which is, indeed, the hand of G-d in accordance
with all the principles of Kiddush
Hashem enumerated previously: that G-d is crowned Supreme King of Kings
only in accordance with His might and power appearing in the world; that the
nations measure G-d’s power according to the strength or weakness of His
people, Israel; and that despite Israel’s not deserving redemption and
salvation, G-d still saves them in order to sanctify His name. The Jewish
state came into being only to erase the scourge of Chilul Hashem: “When they
came unto the nations…they profaned My holy name. Israel’s very presence in
the exile, an uprooted minority scattered and homeless among the nations,
exposed to the majority’s onslaughts, pursued and humiliated and murdered for
being weak and cut off from their land, army and pride – all this is itself a Chilul
Hashem.
The redemption which began despite our sins in order to
sanctify G-d’s name before the nations in might and splendor, has, in the hands
of an “ungrateful, unwise nation” (Deut. 32:6), turned into a
profanation and a blasphemy carried out precisely by those whom G-d thought to redeem. If the beginning of the redemption and the
state served to sanctify
G-d’s name, then the only way to move on to “hasty” redemption is to continue
reinforcing the Kiddush Hashem through trusting in G-d and liquidating
the Chilul Hashem without fear of the non-Jew, without fear of flesh and
blood. Every retreat, every submission,
every concession to the non-Jew, every hand raised against the Jew, every
attack, let alone murder, of a Jew in the Land, every taunt and curse by a
non-Jew in the Land, is a Chilul Hashem. If such Chilul Hashem exists,
it is many times more severe than any other type, for it occurs within the
state which arose exclusively to eradicate Chilul Hashem. Now, instead of continuing to reinforce the Kiddush
Hashem process, the Jewish People retreat and profane G-d’s name.
Whoever allows the non-Jew in Eretz Yisrael to rise up
profanes G-d’s name with terrible contempt.
If G-d gave s large portions of Eretz Yisrael as part of the
start of redemption, in order to sanctify His name through the most remarkable,
might victories, and someone is later ready to concede parts of the Holy Land
and hand them over to the nations, he profanes G-d’s name with disgraceful
blasphemy. Whoever does not allow Jews to live everywhere in the Land, whoever
ties their hands and prevents their taking the revenge of G-d and Israel
against the nations who curse and revile G-d and His Messiah, profanes G-d’s
name and profanes the great miracle and the powerful dream realized by G-d at
the start of the redemption.
Whoever sees the rebirth of Eretz Yisrael and a
Jewish state and understands that he can easily flee the defilement of the
nations and the exile and move to the Holy Land; whoever knows that G-d has
opened the last chapter of the existence of the world, which is approaching the
end of the sixth thousand, and that G-d is beginning to sanctify His name,
profaned among the nations, by returning Israel to their land, thereby
preparing to blot out the exile, symbol of Chilul Hashem –
whoever knows all this, yet remains among the nations and their defilements,
loathing the delightful Land, profanes G-d’s name and His beloved land.
And whoever remains there out of fear and dread of the
nations, or out of doubts and uncertainties regarding his livelihood or the
dangers of the Land, thereby demonstrates total lack of faith in Hashem as the
G-d of Israel, Supreme, Omnipotent King of Kings; and there is no Chilul
Hashem more degrading, for it borders on atheism. Yet, all attempts to flee the challenge and mission
which G-d placed on our necks as a dear and gladdening yoke will be to no
avail.
The ledger is open, the hand is recording, and the last
chapter of the world’s existence is being written. Redemption is drawing near, and the doorposts
tremble at the resounding voice asking, “’in haste’ or ‘in its time’?”
