Manhigut Yehudit Manhigut Yehudit's working plan for its first 100 days in
government Part 2 Before
we outline the measures that should be implemented by a belief-based Jewish
government, we must first define the ultimate goal of Judaism, and more
specifically, the ultimate goal of a Jewish state. The
radical Israeli Left will most likely not agree with these definitions. But it
is better to outline the struggle on the field of strategic definitions.
Without defining our goals, we are doomed to continue to bury our heads in the
sand and automatically adopt the goals forced upon us by the Left. Without a
defined goal, we will continue to march toward the Left's goals in a futile
attempt to somehow bring about a change of course. The
goal of Judaism is to "perfect the world in the Kingdom of the
Almighty." We recite this sentence three times daily in our prayers. In
everyday language, this means that the goal of Judaism is to be an exemplary
role model for all of humanity, to bring the world to knowledge of the Creator
and to adopt the moral way of life that G-d demands of His creations. The
purpose of the Jewish state is to be a tool for the realization of Judaism's
goals. These
are the goals of the belief based Jewish state. You can argue with them,
disagree with them, or hate them. But clearly, whoever disagrees with these
goals will necessarily disagree with the tactics employed to achieve them. At
Manhigut Yehudit, the question that we ask ourselves is not how we can be like
all the other nations -- the question of the Left -- but rather how to create
a state that will fulfill Judaism's goals. The
plan delineated here is not engraved in stone. It is more of an outline open
to discussion, corrections and changes. Clearly, the reality on the day that
the Jewish People will elect belief-based leadership will be completely
different than today's reality, impacting greatly (and hopefully for the
better) on the methods to implement our policies. In addition, most of the
steps depicted here should be taken immediately, and not after a number of
weeks. The timeline suggested here is the way we see the order in which these
measures must be implemented. More time may be needed to carry them out. In
any event, the plan described here is an example of actualizing a great vision
on the practical plane. In
order to simplify this plan, we can divide the practical steps into four
categories: Declarative:
Immediate measures to stabilize the new consciousness
and to pave the way for further measures. Security:
Measures taken to enhance the security of the State and its inhabitants. Educational:
A Jewish revolution Economic and
Social This plan is the basis for discussion, and has been written to inspire us. "If you will it, it is no dream," wrote the founder of the State of the Jews. While Herzl's plan for the State of the Jews in his book by that name bore little resemblance to the state that was ultimately founded, the plan empowered the Jews of his era to dream again of a state of their own. Every plan is but a starting point, without which it is impossible to progress to reality. It is our hope that the following plan will empower our readers to dream of the belief-based Jewish State. May we merit to make that dream reality.
