HaKatan said – Nope. Hashem designed this world, especially during galus, that we be separate from the nations. “VaAvdil eschem min haAmim liHyos li.” He also designed Antisemitism as a wake-up call for when Jews get too close to the nations, CH”V. As Rav Chaim Brisker noted, if the Jews don’t make kiddush, then the goyim will make havdala.
Why “nope”? That is exactly what I wrote. What do you think the ???? ??? ?????? means? That we are the ?? ?????, and cannot escape that, with a clause for ???? ??????? to teach us that…
HaKatan – Zionism is, of course, the ultimate assimilation, and has spread its ideological tentacles worldwide in unprecedented ways. That is what is frightening to a maamin or at least to anyone who thinks he is a maamin.
I said that too, in different words. I added that Zionism is not the ONLY thing going on, and especially that WE need to do ????? for OUR issues, instead of klapping al cheit for other Jews’ aveiros and slapping our belly thinking we’re ‘Sheiner Yidden’ because we aren’t Zionists…
