I find it amazing that people can be so blind.
The message of Hitler’s Germany was not that we need to pay more careful attention to the political landscape, or that we need to find a place which will provide us with better security, or that we need to arm ourselves, all of which misconceptions appear above in this thread.
The message of the Holocaust is that the only source of security upon which we can rely is HKBH. It is only by His boundless mercy that we can hope to exist, let alone prosper. All of the trappings of contemporary political or societal developments are nothing more than smoke and mirrors designed to distract us from this fact.
This is the one and only important factor to our health, wealth, happiness, prosperity and security, as spelled out clearly and directly in the Torah dozens (if not hundreds) of times: ?? ????? ???? ???.
When we thing it’s about who wins the White House, we have lost the race.
When we think it’s about where we live, we are in foreign territory.
When we think it’s about how well we can aim a gun, we are completely off target.
It is about none of these things. They are all, ultimately, utterly unimportant. The Holocaust happened in what was then the most civilized nation on Earth, which was, incidentally, the first country to grant full citizenship to Jews, about one short century before attempting their extermination. If it can happen then and there, it can happen anytime, anywhere.
It is only HKBH who can protect us, and He has told us what it would take. ?? ???? ??? ??? ?? ?? ????? ??? ???.
