Jealousy and envy are essential to hate. That Jews are hated means that those who hate us are jealous and envious. They hate that Jews have risen above jealousy and hate. They hate that Jews are wired to be the best they can, while the haters are lazy and steal so they don't have to put forth effort. They hate that Jews have close family and community. They hate that Jews are successful. They hate that Jews have the strength and resilience to overcome the hate through the ages. Do not cower from the haters because they have no strength. The haters have just weakness and evil.
Anti Semitism is part of Jewish history but we have fighting Anti Semitism is not the only and certainly not the most productive or positive way of transmitting traditional Jewish values
Thanks for a beautiful article, Rafael. I've always seen being Jewish as a special gift, and an incredible way of seeing the world.
I feel it's important to remain a light to the nations, especially now. It's important to remember our moral compass.

Let's be honest. We as a people are not supposed to be here now. If you look at our history, it is nothing but crazytown. How are we still here?
And yet, we are.
Let that sink in.
But Abraham didn’t “discover” Gd nor create a religion.
Abraham was called by Gd. Became His friend. Had a relationship with Him. Learned obedience and trust at His feet.
When Judaism becomes another “religion” it loses its essence which is Gd Himself.
