Torah perspective

A story that jumps from the burning Temple to the declaration in Tel Aviv erases the yeshivot of Babylon, the poets of Spain, the communities of Provence and Poland. That gap is not a hole in the record. It is the exile itself, and exile has its own inner logic: the Divine presence goes into hiding with the people, and the people keep building anyway. The Chassidic reading of the scattering is that the sparks of holiness fell among the nations precisely so they could be gathered back. Two thousand years of learning, prayer, and quiet loyalty were the gathering. The return is not an emergency arrangement by outsiders. It is the end of a long, deliberate process the Jewish people carried the whole time.
