Description

Need to think about how we approach Jews and especially Jews who don't keep Torah. The essential makeup of every Jew has segulat Yisrael, the precious special Jewish essence that is not dependent on external actions. When did this become an important topic to discuss - enlightenment and reform and then even more with Zionism and return to Israel. Zechut avot runs out, Brit avot is eternal- Hashem chose the avos and that means we are in it for the long haul together.
