20. More Light

Fighting evil is a very noble activity when it must be done. But it is not our mission in life.

Our job is to bring in more light.

I love this teaching
It has stayed with me since I first read it, and has helped to guide my actions since that moment.

Thank you, from a grateful gentile.

But I feel compelled
There is a constant stream of anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic attacks, both physical and stories in the press. I feel compelled to take these head on and to draw as many others into this good fight as possible.
We are under attack like never before.

fighting evil
The evil that we must now fight is Big Oil and the desires that enable it to profit egregiously from the distribution of a necessity of life. The same thinking is true for any industry that profits egregiously from the production and the bringing to market of any necessity of life, for the apportionment of land and its wealth is to be done not only meritoriously, by size and accomplishment, but equitably, by lot, or birthright. We have to figure out how to do this successfully if we are to survive as a species.

I am not Jew but I believed in God...
I believed that you can bring light to each person in this World no matter what.
My Jew friends, they have brought light in my life, and now I can bring light too.
Believe me, God will not punish you, if you bring light to other people or place. I think G-d will be happy.
Go take your light and transform the darkness that it may also shine!
Shalom.

Can I bring in more light at every place?
I live totally among Non Jews (Catholics).
Can I bring in more light in every place I am?
Everybody knows now, that I am a Jew.
My son even says it openly now.
Deep indside I feel guilty living here and not in a place amongst Jews. It turns out that I have to stay here for the next three years.
I still have in my ears: "... and your footsteps were guided to reach that place. And you are here. Now." Can it be that this is "my place" G-dwanted me to be?
I have no difficulties to talk about my Jewishness (I can do it better than the average Jew, as I am used to Christian thinking. ) I do not understand it, but might it be possible, that a Jew can fulfill his *mission in life" at every place in the world?
