Many of us Gentiles are committed to being the friends of the Jewish people. Some of us because God wills it. Some of us because we worship Jesus Christ Who is a Jew. Some of us because simple justice and morality demand it. Some of us because we are a very long way from evening up the accounts for the evils of anti-Semitism through the centuries. Some because it is the right thing to do. We are your friends without condition or precondition. When your enemies come for you, we shall insist that they come through us first next time and every time.

Rabbi Yosef may imagine our existence to be simply to serve Jews. Or he may be entertaining his friends humorously. One way or the other, we are still who we actually are we are committed to being your friends. If Rabbi Yosef were here with me and spoke English, I would say to him: We will always work with you as allies but not as superiors nor as subordinates.

I say this on a day when my Catholic religion has been embarrassed by its Middle Eastern bishops' Synod making impertinent demands upon Israel to demagogue to their vanishing flocks in the Middle East. Those bishops would do well to mind the business of the Church and to avoid kowtowing to Islamofascist radicalism and calling on Israel to commit national suicide.

Most of those bishops did not wait until they became 90 years old to lose it. May Rabbi Yosef be blessed and our Jewish FRiends here as well and you too Lucius!

There is a teaching that talks of the non-Jew's role to assist/serve in the Jewish service to the creator. And- when the world realizes that its own welfare, sustinance, and existance also depends on the Jews' performance of the mitzvahs (commandments) that this will also be reflected in their behavior. In Jewish litergy, every creation has its role to play in service to the creator. In the old days of the USSR, many Jews were made to suffer for this teaching.

The same source also says that when a Jew rejects his/her service to the creator that they are less than any other in creation.

Not laughing.
