Torah perspective

Blaming American Jews for the decisions of Jerusalem's government is a category error with a long, ugly pedigree. The sages already saw it: when one Jew places himself above another, the two yuds that together spell God's name collapse into a colon, a full stop. Two Jews side by side invite the Divine presence; one Jew standing over another ends the sentence. Ted Deutsch's point is not merely political. It is the old reflex of holding a whole people hostage to a distant government's choices, a reflex that has never once ended well for us. The remedy is the one the holy Jew of Przysucha taught: equality first, then connection. Only from that ground can real advocacy, and real love of Israel, be built.
