Triumphant

Everywhere you look, the antisemites are losing. Hamas decimated. Hezbollah and Hamas leaders assassinated. Most of Hezbollah’s arsenal destroyed. Hezbollah pagers exploded. Iranian missiles knocked down, air defences wiped out. Pro-Palestinian encampments on campuses disappeared. ICC prosecutor prosecuted.

Jewish students, Israeli soldiers, and many Jews worldwide are strengthening their allegiance to their Jewish identity and heritage. Jewish unity is strengthening. Instead of destroying us, our enemies and the world are witnessing Jewish resurgence and strength.

The Jewish calendar heralds the approach of holidays which commemorate our history of miraculous triumphs. Chanukah, when the few overcame the many, and the lights in the Temple, enough for just one day, shined for eight. Purim, when Haman, our oppressor, was hung; and the Jews, led by Mordechai who did not bow, and Esther who fasted and prayed to G-d to save her people, eliminated their enemies. Passover, when the Almighty took us out of Egypt, drowned those who wanted to harm us, and revealed His presence to us at Mount Sinai, where He gave us His Torah, and where He instructed Moses to tell all nations the seven Noahide laws. Abidance by these laws will bring peace to the entire world.

Those miraculous moments are being wondrously played out now, as Israel triumphs, defeating its enemies (thus benefiting all mankind), and teaching the world what true morality means.

Jewish victory means a peaceful and prosperous world. A world where all nations will be cognizant of G-d’s presence. A world where evil will disappear, and truth and kindness will prevail.

Perhaps we are now approaching the ultimate miraculous time, when Redemption with Moshiach will bring G-d’s light everywhere, and when the Jewish people will all reunite in happiness with their G-d in the Beis Hamikdosh, the eternal Temple in Jerusalem. And the lights of the Temple will illuminate for all mankind, who will see His glory and rulership, and will appreciate His chosen nation’s beneficial influence to the world.

May we see it very soon.
