When Hashem created the world for man he created a Malach called Satan who’s job it is to prevent man from serving Hashem. Satan asked Hashem, “Why do you want me to try to stop them from serving you”? Hashem replied, “So that they will receive reward by listening to me and not you”. “How shall I stop them from doing mitvot?”, ask Satan. “Get them occupied with pursuing their desires”, responded Hashem. The Satan then asked, “…but how will I get them to stop learning your Holy Torah? After all, it brings incredible joy to whoever toils in it and each word makes them holy! Besides the reward in Olam Habah is unimaginable! What in the world could I ever use to draw them away from learning Torah?!” “Simple…”, retorted Hashem, “Politics”!
