If you will it, it is not a dream…!

What we are reading today?

126 years after it was written, Theodor Herzl’s ‘The Jewish State‘, still stands the test of time.

This book came to light in February 1896 and dreams of a Jewish State which we now know became a reality.

The book concludes-

“Therefore I believe that a wondrous generation of Jews will spring into existence.

The Maccabeans will rise again.

Let me repeat once more my opening words: The Jews who wish for a State will have it.

We shall live at last as free men on our own soil, and die peacefully in our own homes.

The world will be freed by our liberty, enriched by our wealth, magnified by our greatness.

And whatever we attempt there to accomplish for our own welfare, will react powerfully and beneficially for the good of humanity.”

“If you will it, it is not a dream…”

“אם תרצו, אין זו אגדה…”

Now to the India’s Hindu community, my question is this-

Like Theodor Herzl, why couldn’t we dream for a Hindu State…???

ShalOm…!
