How it works–'We Jews Are An Exalted Nation Of Priests'

ed note–as we like to point out here regularly, much of it to little or no avail, the very FIRST STEP necessary in understanding, diagnosing and (hopefully) arriving at a ‘cure’ for those ills of the world today where organized Jewish interests feature as a leading role resides in understanding the fact that–just as it is with rabies, smallpox, syphilis, etc–what we are dealing with here is an infectious disease of the heart, mind, and spirit, and–just as important–that it has ALWAYS been this.

There has never–anywhere, anytime–been a case where this credo and code of behavior was harmless or beneficent. In every place and in every era it has gone, from ancient Egypt to Canaan to Persia to Rome to modern day Hollywood, New York and Washington D.C., it has always resulted in the same malaise for those Gentiles and their societies who find themselves in the unfortunate circumstance of living in such close proximity to this dangerous organism.

Besides the obvious, which are the various commandments found within Torah Judaism directing those infected with this mental/spiritual disorder to engage in a deliberate program of violence, vice, theft, deception, usury, etc against Gentiles, there is the other protocol functioning at the cellular level of this infectious disease, which is of course its inherent pathological narcissism. Whereas other religions, philosophies and schools of thought instill within the individual a sense of humility as the necessary first step towards improvement and enlightenment, no such properties exist within the Judaic paradigm where a person, simply by virtue of his/her birth as a ‘Jew’, is infused with ‘divine DNA’ that precludes the possibility of such an individual from becoming anything other than a demi-god of sorts, and with that status, the obvious ‘divine right’ of engaging in any type of criminal behavior necessary in feeding into that sense of narcissism and entitlement, as long as no other ‘demi-gods’ within Mundus Judaicus are harmed in the process.

Below is a case study of the disease and how it has over the course of almost 6,000 years produced a ‘race’ of people infected with a mindset that has not only put them at odds with the rest of the world, but more importantly, has propelled these members of the walking dead to the highest pinnacle of world power where they are now afforded the ability of wiping out all life on earth per the demands of their doomsday cult religion.

In this week’s parsha we read of the incident involving Dina and Shechem, the son of Chamor and nasi of the city of Shechem. Upon learning that Dina was abducted by Shechem, Shimon and Levi devised a plan to kill all the male residents of the city, including Shechem and Chamor. There are various opinions in the Rishonim that explain the rational of Shimon and Levi in killing all the inhabitants of the city. They explain why the entire city was in fact deserving of death.

However, at the end of the episode, Yaakov Avinu chastises Shimon and Levi for their actions. He tells them that when the surrounding neighbors learn of what you did they could potentially avenge their deaths by attacking Yaakov’s entire family. In other words, you put all of our lives in danger by killing out the entire city.

The Torah concludes with Shimon and Levi’s response: “Should we allow them to make our sister into a harlot?”

How did Shimon and Levi answer their father’s concern. He just told them that they have put everyone’s life in danger. Their response doesn’t seem to answer the question.

I heard from my rebbe, Rav Shmuel Berenbaum, zt”l, that Yaakov Avinu rebuked Shimon and Levi because he felt that while the inhabitants of Shechem were in fact deserving death, executing that sentence is not something one should risk his life for. There are certain mitzvos that one must perform or aveiros that one must refrain from even if doing so forfeits his life.

For example, murder, avoda zara, and forbidden relationships. However, carrying out a death sentence on one who is deserving it does not fall under the category of mitzvos one is obligated to forfeit his life for. That was Yaakov Avinu’s rebuke to his sons.

Shimon and Levi answered that in this scenario it was worth forfeiting their lives. That is because they were not only intent on executing the death sentence of the residents of Shechem, they were teaching their children and all future generations a vital lesson. While the rest of the world may not have viewed what had happened to Dina as an atrocity, after all she was single, Shimon and Levi wanted to impart that for this to happen to a daughter of Yaakov is completely unacceptable. We must live on a higher plane and not tolerate such behavior.

Rav Shmuel explained that keeping the Torah and mitzvos would be so much easier if we would understand that we are an elevated nation.

In Europe, he said, there was a clear distinction between a Jew and a non-Jew. Today however, if one simply removes his yarmulke he can be mistaken for a non-Jew. Realizing that we are a chosen nation of priests is the key to persevering through this terribly long galus.

This was the lesson that Shimon and Levi responded to their father that is worth dying for, because if we lose our identity as an exalted nation, we will ultimately lose our spiritual lives completely as well.

Let us remember we are an exalted nation of priests, which demands a certain level of behavior on our part and of how we are to be treated as well. The nations of the world will not respect us for trying to become like them; rather they will respect us when we show them the lofty level we can be as a light onto the nations.
