Hello Yaacov, I'm not Jewish but I've had the good fortune to count Jewish people amongst my friends for my entire life. I for one will always stand with my Jewish friends and colleagues.

"Everything humanity grasps so tight is smoke and mirrors. Finally, we see that there was always something beyond our fabricated constructs. Through breakdown, one can awaken to truths otherwise obscured by illusion." Very true. We see now that we have no one to rely on but our Father in heaven.

Also funny that you mentioned the way German Jews regarded Eastern European Jews, I was reading Kafka's diaries last week and it struck me as so interesting the way that he talked about the Eastern European Jews in a sort of dismissive way.

Sharing? I’m honestly fearful of hate. I’ve dared to comment on a couple of posts and after correcting one person on historical facts he lashed out at me. I won’t repeat what he said.
