It doesn’t make logical sense that we’re still here.
Empires rose and fell. Civilizations disappeared. Cultures vanished without a trace. And yet after thousands of years, after exile, persecution, and destruction, the Jewish people are still alive.
Not because of strength.
Not because of strategy.
Not even because of perseverance.
Reb Shlomo Carlebach taught that the only explanation is holiness.
A holiness so deep that even when we don’t fully feel it, even when we struggle, even when we’re far—we’re still connected. Connected to Jerusalem. Connected to the מקום המקדש. Connected to something beyond logic… the Holy of Holies itself.
