God what exactly do you want? – as the Baal Shem Tov teaches, when geopolitical events occur, particularly when they effect the Jewish people, they are a message – today is Tishah B’av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, beginning with the spies negative report on Israel, then the destruction of the first and second Temple, the Spanish and English expulsion of the Jews in 1290 and 1492 respectively, the start of world war one, Kristilnacht, exploding into the holocaust, but most importantly, we need to look at the bigger picture – there is no doubt, the psychological reason there is antisemitism is, some people, as Freud said are “miserable bastards” hence they like a bully seek to traumatize the kind souls, so they feel less bad about their own ego’s violation, but be that as it may, from a spiritual standpoint, all is a message; so we revert to the first question “God, what do you want?” – and the truth is God, is only trying, like a parent to encourage his child to help himself – for example, if you see your little child running to the street as they have no perception of the harm – you will forcibly take the child, kicking and screaming, and not allow them to go onto the street – likewise, we must understand, there is but a single direction in life and that is a meaningful one!
