Episode Synopsis

Territory, Country and Nation, are 3 different concepts, that just a Nation doesn’t need of the other 2, to exist.A territory is in constant growing or diminution in history, countries change in any possible way, trying in difficult Moments to call them selves a nation in urgent search of patriotism. But a nation is the only source of Inspiration that is always present in history. This is the case of the Jewish nation, especially after the destruction of the second temple by the Romans and the Diaspora of the Jewish people, all over the world, searching for a new life, a promise of a more secure present and a Future back in the Holy Land. A wish that was just possible with the re-foundation of Israel. A Rabbi will say that is the Torah, the ruler and the attachment of the jews to their tradition, that is essential for the Jewish nation. A very simple Jew like me, thinks that our Culture is rich in moments especially the difficult, where this inner G-d that has the Jews, becomes a Sound in the dessert like 3000 years ago. It Is in the loneliness of danger and unknown that a Jew is a Jew. All the Great decisions were taken at the limit of our sources and forces, and when we talk between us we agree just on that. 2 Jews have 3 thoughts, but a Jew is a Jew and we are a nation, especially when we are at the limit, it is a pride that made Avraham believe, understand and become the first Jew and our father.
