El Tarud, thanks for this question. The answer is quite lengthy! But I will try to answer you as shortly as I can.

It all comes down to understanding the world we live in.

You can see how along history different scientific theories tried to describe this reality.

In physics, we had Newtonian theory, which claimed everything is matter, and the visible reality is the dominant one. What you see is what you get. But then quantum physics came along and turned things around. Matter is actually mostly empty, fields of energy create our world, and we the perceivers are reality making machines..!

So you see it really depends on how we see the reality we live in.

I would say that Kabbalah goes even deeper than quantum physics in explaining the world. But again, it’s a long explanation.

The bottom line is that just like other living systems in nature (our human body for example), humanity is connected. You can see evidence of this in research on social networks (see”connected” the book).

Our opinions, feelings, and behavior are constantly influenced by the network we are all part of.

Jews have a very influential part to play in this network. They are not an ordinary group of people..they are in fact originally representatives of all tribes/nations who were drawn towards connection/unity and therefore have the inborn inclination for it (yet now they are in forgetfulness).

The book of Zohar (an ancient Kabbalistic text) describes them as the heart of the body of nations.

So, in fact, the more people think, feel and behave with love and care- the better off humanity will be…but when Jews do this- it will have saved the day.

Antisemitism is a natural phenomenon- it is the outcry of “the body” against its central organ that is not functioning as it should. This is why all the Antisemitic liables come down to one claim: Jews are to blame for everything that is wrong. This means they can also correct it.

The imbalance, the egoism, the division, the war…all of this is a result of missing connection…of bad relations…of a lack of love.

That is really all that is missing in our world. For each person to feel that we are all part of one thing- that the other is yourself. (then you wouldn’t want to hurt anyone right?)

All the Jewish texts speak of this one thing- love thy friend as thyself. Bring yourself and the world to connection. That’s it.

That is how Jews can stop Antisemitism because Antisemitism is the system's way of pressuring them to connect. If it weren’t for Antisemitism the Jews would have assimilated and dispersed long ago…but it keeps them together as a nation, because they have this purpose to fulfill.

When Jews begin to unite and create this unity consciousness, it will spread- and the more people join them the better. I know many non-Jews who are more spiritually evolved than most Jews are, and are just as important to this process as people who are Jews genetically.

But the Jewish people none-the-less must awaken.

The sooner we realize that the better!!!

We have to move quickly before things get worse.
