Kabbalists About Kabbalah Today, Part 7
Dear Friends, please ask questions about these passages from the great Kabbalists. The commentaries in brackets are mine.
An Opportunity for Redemption
Judaism [a science about connection with the Creator, from the word Yichud – “union”] must present something new [new relationships, revelation of the new purpose in life and the Upper World] to the nations. That is what they expect [subconsciously] from the return of Israel to the land! [Hence, after seeing that it is not happening, they hate us even more than before and claim that our state is unnecessary.]
It is not in other teachings, for in that we never innovated; we were always their disciples [we were first, but developed that which they had to develop]. Rather, it is the wisdom of religion, justice and peace [that they are expecting of us]. In this, most nations are our disciples, and this wisdom is attributed to us alone [since the program of correction of man’s nature has been passed to us].
– Baal HaSulam, “The Solution”
[27771]

What nations are you talking about Rav Laitman? If today’s Western nations are included in what the Wisdom of Kabbalah calls the “Nations of the World”, then, I am sorry, but it has never been a question of denying to the State of Israel its right to exist. Most of Muslim nations probably do in a way to support their Palestinian brothers, but as far as I know, most countries in the West are just claiming that Palestinians, too, should have a right to their own state (beside the Israeli one, not on its ashes.) And if, as you say — and I do agree with this — nations subconsciously gave a State to Jews so that they show them the way after WWII, aren’t we mostly speaking of countries of the Western World, which for the reason I just mentioned cannot be labeled as finding the State of Israel unnecessary?
