“But
if the watchman see the sword come and blow not the trumpet and the
people be not warned; if the sword cometh and take from them a soul…his
blood will I require from the watchman”. (Ezekiel 33)
I sit on the mountain with a trumpet in my hand. We all sit on a mountain, each of us a watchman with a trumpet in hand. Our mission is to sit and see the enemy. Our mission is to see the danger, to search our own souls and to blow the trumpet and warn the rest – the rest of the Jewish people.
I
sit on a mountain as the sands slip through, the clock ticks away and
the Almighty watches from above to see whether the sleeping Jew will
awake on top of the mountain to see the enemy and blow the trumpet and
save himself and all the rest and reclaim his greatness and his destiny
before there are no more years left.
We are all watchmen, we Jews. We are commanded to know the danger, to see it approach, to blow the trumpet and save, both ourselves and our fellow Jews.
