The article argues that the establishment of the State of Israel marked the beginning of the end for Jewish communities living outside of Israel, suggesting that their historical relevance is fading. Drawing on biblical narratives and rabbinic teachings, the author contrasts the disciplined, Torah-centered life of Jacob with the hedonistic, responsibility-avoiding character of Esau, using these archetypes to critique modern movements within Judaism that embrace assimilation and discard traditional practices. The piece contends that the current era presents Jews with a stark choice: to embrace their heritage and contribute to the rebuilding of the nation in Israel, or to fade into irrelevance by abandoning tradition. The article also references contemporary political figures, likening their attitudes toward Israel and the Jewish people to historical antagonists, while suggesting that even adversaries can inadvertently encourage Jewish unity and return to Israel.
