Chumash or Tikkun Olam?
Which is more important?
If you only have the time or energy for one or the other...
Which is primary. Which function does HaShem want you to do first?
Are we to take care of ourselves and our family (Jews) first?
Who will look out for us if we don't?
Who would have helped the Jews in Russia or Ethiopia if we didn't (and don't)?
Nobody!!
Who will defend Israel if we don't?
Nobody!!
Who will help if we don't?
Nobody!!
Who are we? Are we defined by the Gentile world or our own?
Are we to take the Torah anywhere near literally? What do we adjust to today and what do we leave alone?
Are we to use it as a guideline to live by?
Of course we are or else what is a Jew?
