When Isaiah 49:6 says that Jews are to be a light to all nations, would that be via Tikkum Olam? I know it means repairing of the world and that many Jews believe it’s best implementation is via social justice. However, as the saying goes: “The road to hell is often paved with good intentions.” Social justice movements such as feminism have been rightfully criticized for doing more harm than good. Also, some of these organizations have turned out to be charity scams, making the repairing more like damaging. But, if Tikkum Olam is the way that Jews are to be a light to all nations, then how can it be applied without doing damage to the world?

While napping just the other day, I awoke uttering " I will bless YHVH at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth." (Psalms 34:1) I was stirred inwardly by this and feel it was afflatus a "Divine" prompting to always praise G-d in every circumstance, whether "good" or "evil". This isn't easy when " evil" seems to work overtime. Then something inspiring happened while studying Torah. I came across 2 Chronicles 20:21: "And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto YHVH, and that they should praise the beauty of His holiness as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise YHVH, for His mercy endures forever." 2 Chronicles 20:22: "And when they began to sing and to praise, YHVH set ambushes against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, which were come against Yehuda; and they were smitten." This is powerful! Like dynamite awaiting detonation; Heartfelt praise toward G-d turns any situation into favour from G-d. Exodus 15:3 says that YHVH is a man of war, YHVH is His name. Praise is vital. What are your thoughts?

I wanted to know why we respect our elders. One reason I heard is because they’re closer to Sinai, but why does that merit respect?

The greater the person, the greater yetzer hara. A man becomes great spiritually through challenges of yetzer hara. So, great Jewish sages have a bigger yetzer hara. How can I make my yetzer hara greater, while not being a sinner?
