Think of a restaurant:
- God owns a restaurant. He has food. (Food for our souls, light.)
- The people of Israel are the waiters chosen to serve the food.
- The people of the nations of the world are the customers chosen to enjoy the food.
Some people may feel - why is Israel chosen/special and I'm not? The answer is that Israel isn't more special than anyone else, they just have a different role to play.
We can't all be waiters and we can't all be customers. Systems, for example families, are designed for people to play different roles. When the restaurant is open:
- the restaurant owner seeks to benefit the waiters and customers,
- the waiters seek to benefit the restaurant owner and customers, and
- the customers seek to benefit the restaurant owner and waiters.
The restaurant operates in harmony and balance, in mutual concern and responsibility. Everyone plays their role in order to benefit the others. Everyone is equal, no one is greater than the other.
The restaurant has been closed for a long time, but it's soon going to reopen.
May The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide us, may He lead us and may He show us the way. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.
