6 Av 5783
"For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the spring of living waters, to dig for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that do not hold water." (Yirmiyahu 2.13)
This sums up our current situation.
HKB"H gave us the Torah - The Instruction Manual for Life. It cannot be improved upon. It is perfect. Yet we tossed it aside as something not "realistic" - too far out of our reach; across the sea or up in Heaven - a wonderful idea but pragmatically speaking, impossible to put into practice.
So, here we are - Am Yisrael, the "light to the nations" - fighting over a broken cistern, a flawed system of governance invented by men. And Israel doesn't even have the best model of it.
Mankind would rather suffer than be healed if it means accepting Hashem's sovereignty over them. As it says somewhere: "The Satan proclaimed, Better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven."
We, as a nation must repent of these "two evils." The proof of true repentance is doing it right at the first opportunity. I believe we are about to get that opportunity. Don't miss out!
