Teshuva

Description

Our nation can be rebuilt and restored to its true strength. Any attempt to evaluate our Jewish nation using standard measurements of the gentile nations are not only inaccurate but are misleading and self- defeating. We are measured by our capacity for faithfulness and fear of G-d which is the inner divine dimension of life of the Jewish people which is strengthened, perfected and vitalized. Teshuvah makes us heroic, proud, healthy and alive. Israeli society is an attempt to bring together people who are not comfortable in normal economics and politics. Our metzias (existence) is Torah and mitzvos. Rav Kook would not look at our nation today in the same way as the United Nations does.
