The most frightening facet of this plague was that the horde of wild animals attacked as a disorderly mixture rather than species by species. This anarchy and the terror it inspired are similar to what happens when the moral boundaries that keep society intact are breached.
There is value in questioning the established morals of secular society, but this can only be done when we are firmly grounded in our commitment to the Divine values of the Torah. Only when we are clear about what values are authentically holy can we properly evaluate each element of secular culture and choose what to co-opt and what to reject.
When we embrace this essential distinction between holy and unholy values, it is easier for us to enhance our connection with G‑d.1
If a lot of American Jews don't return to the kind of wisdom represented above by the reference "to moral boundaries that keep society intact", we're eventually going to have a lot of explaining to do to furious American Christians reclaiming their freedoms. Sort of like the Russians who now justify anti-Semitism with the line "but the Jews gave us Communism".
Replying to myself, one year later. And it's a lot worse now; otherwise responsible adults denying reality, and victimizing children. The reaction, if it happens, may swing way in the other direction. No matter what, I don't see Jews benefitting.
