During times like these we need some kind of public display that’s a symbol . What would you suggest we use?
Authentic Jewish symbols which have been our symbols for thousands of years. מצוינים במצוות.
This week – a menorah.
Generally: Tefillin, Mezuza, Tzitzis, Shabbos candles, etc.
Judaism is not the language we speak, the flag we wave, the land that we live in, or the falafel that we eat.
The more we wave the flag, the more we fool people that this secular, nationalistic, cultural nonsense makes them more Jewish.
The world must know that their Jewish identity is ONLY EXPRESSED through the tools that Hashem gave us to express our identity – Torah and mitzvos.
Those who use a flag say היינו ככל הגוים (ch”v); if the Americans, Italians, French, etc. express their identity through a flag and a culture, why can’t we?
The answer is that we are completely different than any nationality. We are not just another nation with nice rituals and cultures that hold us together, rather a nation chosen by Hashem to serve Him in the way that He decided. Only those mitzvos should be used to express what makes us special as a nation.
