Hashem created the world for a purpose – that mankind should recognize Him and serve Him and be subservient to Him. What is the purpose of a Jew and why are we Hashem’s favorite? What separates us from the rest of the human race to make us so special? We (Jews) have made a bris (covenant with G-d) based on our commitment to learn Hashem’s Torah and carry out His mitzvahs. If we recognize that we are being judged on our commitment to carrying out our bris, this is what is keeping the world in existence.
Half of the newspapers write about the “poor” Palestinians and the “wicked” Israelis (i.e. the Jews.) The Jews just 80 years after the end of the Holocaust are shamelessly besmirched, Rabbi Brudny said with the false claim of committing genocide. It is not just the savages in Africa that are saying these lies [in international courts of law,” but supposedly civilized countries [of the Western World] such as France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, etc. that are mouthing these shameless lies.
The Ribbono shel Olam should help us. On a deeper level we should rejoice in the knowledge that Hashem will on the basis of our teshuvah judge us favorable for the coming year.
