Rather than influencing the nations through left-wing politics and destructive forms of entertainment, Jews should be touching the world with the light of Torah.<\/p>\n
Because Ashenazi Jews have average IQs around 110 (the highest for any group), high in-group solidarity, a strong work ethic and great ambition, they are bound to have an outsized influence on the world when compared to the less intelligent and more passive goyim of creation.<\/p>\n
From the Lubavitch Chumash (based on Likutei Sichos vol. 35, pg. 96ff):<\/p>\n
Influencing the nations of the world to serve the One God is a fundamental aspect of Judaism. Both the active and passive effects of Jewish influence are evident at every stage.<\/p>\n
a.) Yitzchak was the first person to be born a Jew, so his birth was associated with a positive influence on non-Jews. Sarah had a passive effect — miracles simply surrounded her. Avraham took a more active role, by fathering non-Jewish nations.<\/p>\n
b.) Rambam writes that even in our times it is incumbent on all Jewish people to coerce non-Jews to observe the seven Noachide laws (Rambam, Hilchos Melachim 8:10). Obviously, this requires an active effort to educate the nations, highlighting the importance of their mitzvos. However, it can be proven from the words of Rambam that this is followed by a second, passive phase, where non-Jews come to a heightened perception of the Noachide code themselves, without direct input from the Jewish people.<\/p>\n
c.) The Messianic era begins with Mashiach’s active efforts to perfect the world, including his work with non-Jews, “He will fix the entire world” (ibid. 11:4). However, at some point, this will catalyze into the heightened redemption, where non-Jews will study God’s wisdom of their own accord, without the direct input of Mashiach — as Rambam states, “The entire world will only be busy knowing God” (ibid. 12:5) without the need for Maschiach’s direct intervention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
