After you have read about these heroes and their battles, you are ready for the ultimate Jewish leader – King David – a king whose dynasty we pray every day will be restored.
Moses, Joshua, Yiftach, Gideon, Samson, Devorah, Yael, David – these are the leaders we need, and when they reappear on the scene, Hamas, Hizbullah, and the new bully on the block, ISIS, will run into their caves like scared little mice.
Is it possible? Will we actually see such leaders in the 21st century? I firmly believe – to the bottom of my soul – that the answer to that question is yes, but only if we make it happen. Hashem has not thrown us to the wolves. He didn’t lead us back to the Promised Land after 2,000 years as some kind of practical joke. We are here, back where our nation belongs, so let’s make it happen.
Hashem has given us all the tools, but it is up to us to build the house with the tools He provided. The biggest problem in today’s modern state of Israel is its leadership. Everything else has fallen into place, yet without authentic Jewish leadership, nothing is secure. Everything is at risk. That is why I have dedicated my life to finding that leadership and bringing it to the helm of the Jewish nation.
That is what my group, Manhigut Yehudit – the Jewish Leadership Movement – is all about. We have identified the problem and are working 24/7 at solving it with leaders who follow the guidelines of the great Jews listed above. We do not claim to come close to these great men and women; compared to them, we are nothing more than ants standing next to elephants. Yet, we follow their guidance and direction, are motivated by their actions and challenges, and are inspired by the way they dedicated every moment of their lives to our father and king.
I urge each and every person reading these words to spend some time on our website, www.JewishIsrael.org. Read our articles and watch some of our videos. Follow the daily activity of Moshe Feiglin who is an example of the kind of leader we need so badly. And most important of all, if you identify with our goal and mission, help bring it to reality. Help turn the state of the Jews into the Jewish state so that when people ask me, “What will be?” I can tell them only good news – that Israel will be a light unto the nations, the home of every Jew in the world, and a place where true peace exists throughout the land!
Am Yisrael Chai!
