So here we are 5772 and much remains the same:
1) The Persians hate us and want us annihilated.
2) The Arabs hate us and want us annihilated.
3) The Rest of the World hate us and don't care if #1 and #2 annihilate us.
4) The Terrorists (Muslims) want to kill everyone...
The Matsav in Israel is the same, the government bends over backwards to be fair to Arabs (the enemy).
They don't protect Jews, they expel them and bulldoze their homes...
The empty Kippah's in charge are politicians and not Torah observant Jews...
In the main Diaspora - USA - J-Street is helping the administration and all anti-Semites to De-legitimatize Israel....
From here, I struggle with Shuva and convincing my wife that Orthodoxy doesn't treat women as property and make them walk a step behind. Feminism is to blame since what she wants to be able to do...she doesn't want to do anyway....My children are not following me on the Shuva trail ...so quickly...
On the other hand I am not so sure how fast I will wear Tzitzit or a Kippah to work...not necessarily because I am not ready to wear them....I will not wear them here out of concern...for ...well you know.
The Jewish Community in CNY is dwindling....not because of Aliyah....no, not because of Aliyah...because of Assimilation, because if you are not a Torah Jew...why would you care about doing the right thing- Jewish-ly, because all of the jobs have left, because when the kids graduate they move to find work.....
From here, the concept of moving to Israel is a dream. The hardships that everyone warns of are of no interest.
