After listening to this episode I get the sense that perhaps an understanding of what it means to be “The Chosen People of YHVH” as it relates to the Jewish People. Chosen in this regard doesn’t mean better than, more perfect than or superior to; or any such idea. It actually is a responsibility of huge magnitude. What were the Jewish people chosen for? To be a light to the nations. We Jews are accountable to fulfill that responsibility given to us by YHVH.
Parshat Naso is the longest single parsha in the Torah, clocking in at 176 verses. That’s Torah’s way of saying, “Hey, you might want to take a long , serious and contemplative look at what you’re about to learn.”

I usually try to avoid politics in my videos and essays because things change so rapidly these days and the slant from all media sides distorts so much of what can be proven that it makes it very time consuming to sort out fact from fiction. However, that being said I will take some time to try and sort our what really happened in Ukraine beginning in early 2013 through 2014 that makes Putin think he was justified to attack that country. I only do this since an online friend accused me of falling for Western propaganda as it relates to the events surrounding this catastrophic war that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives over the last decade on both sides.
