FRIDAY MINCHA TIMES Many Have Simply Given up Trying to Come up with an Answer

May - June 2018 16 Iyar - 17 Tammuz 5778

Dear Friends,

As we prepare to celebrate the holiday of Shavuot commemorating the acceptance of the Torah at Mount Sinai, we are profoundly disturbed by the resurgence of global anti- Semitism. What seems not sufficiently understood is the deep connection between these two, Sinai and anti-Semitism. The link between the two can allow us to resolve one of the most perplexing questions surrounding the history of the Jewish people. Seven decades after the Holocaust, the hatred of Jews and Judaism has reappeared in the capitals of Europe. Jews as a people and Israel as their land are once more the scapegoats responsible for all the world’s ills. For the longest time, scholars have attempted to understand what is it about Jews that made them the focus of this obsessive animosity. As fewer than one quarter of 1 percent of the world’s population, what could possibly have turned them into the supreme villains of mankind? How did countries without a single Jew become rabid anti-Semites? FRIDAY MINCHA TIMES Many have simply given up trying to come up with an answer. Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize winner and Holocaust survivor, concluded that the endurance of anti-Semitism remains a mystery, an “irrational disease… the world has changed in the last 2,000 years, and only anti-Semitism has remained.” The only disease that has not found its cure is anti-Semitism.” Abraham Foxman of the ADL expressed the fear that “we cur- rently face as great a threat to the safety and security of the Jewish people as the one we faced in the 1930s — if not a greater one.” Reasons for anti-Semitism have often been offered with inherent contra- dictions of their explanations. Jews were despised because they were too liberal — and also because they were too conservative. They were too cheap and, of course, they were also too spendthrift; too passive and too pushy; too charitable and too selfish; too religious and too secular. Jews have been the scapegoats for the sins of every political system. Max Nordau, the great Zionist leader, had it right: “The Jews are not hated because they have evil qualities; evil qualities are sought for in them because they are hated.”

A little over a century ago Jews thought they at last had found the answer. Theodore Herzl believed that it was all because the Jews had no land of their own. Stateless, they were natural victims. Only their ab- normal political reality caused them to become international pariahs. No longer homeless, continued on page 2 2

Message from the Rabbi continued from page 1 with Israel Jews would find acceptance and universal respect.

What then is the answer to the reason for anti-Semitism? The rabbis of the Talmud saw it in the name of the mountain on which the Ten Commandments were given. “Sinai” in Hebrew is similar to the word “sinah” — hatred. It was our acceptance of a higher law of morality and ethics that was responsible for the world’s enmity. Jews were the first to preach the message of the Ten Commandments, that worship of God includes the second tablet of respect for fellow mankind. As the mother religion of both Christianity and Islam, Judaism pioneered the ideal of the holy and the human need for acting in accord with divine law. Anti-Semitism stands in opposition to the very idea of civilization. It detests Jews because it acknowledges that Jews are the conscience of humanity and the lawgivers of ethical and moral behavior. Hitler y"s ver- balized it as justification for his plan for genocide of the Jewish people: “Conscience is a Jewish invention like circumcision. My task is to free men from the dirty and degrading ideas of conscience and morality.”

As we prepare to celebrate our receiving of the Ten Commandments, anti-Semitism ought to be viewed as a badge of honor. Jews are hated not because they are bad but because we persist in reminding the world of what it means to be good. Anti-Semitism is nothing less than a visceral reaction to the cry of a guilty conscience. (This is a condensed version of an article by Rabbi Benjamin Blech professor of Talmud at Yeshiva Univer- sity in New York.)

With best wishes,

Rabbi Eliezer Langer
