This is the only heritage of the Hebrew people. This book, which was written around 15th century BCE by Moses, with G-d dictating the contents, is the most widely read book in the world. This is the source of the inspiration, where everything was written. Study of the Torah (Tanakh, the Old Testament) has always been part of the everyday life of Bnei Yisrael. Judaism is not a religion. It is a way of behaving towards G-d and towards people. Many have been inspired by the Torah to invent religions (Christianity, Protestantism, Islam…), philosophies (Greek, Hinduism…) or cults.
The Jewish nation, descendants of the Hebrew nation, or Bnei Yisrael, has been following the commandments of the Torah for thousands of years. There are 613 commandments, which have always been taught in yeshivas and are part of the heritage of the Israeli nation.
If humanity in its entirety must honor the Seven Laws of Noah, Jews must follow the 613 commandments in order to please G-d, thereby fulfilling their role on earth. This nation was chosen to become close to G-d and serve the 70 nations, currently representing the 202 countries. As such, living as a Jew means learning the Torah and serving the nations to help them fulfill their role.
Every nation, every person has a very specific task. Studying the Torah means access to a high level of consciousness that not only facilitates self-fulfillment but also helps other succeed in their task in this world. The more that nations allow Jews to study the Torah in their country, the better humanity in general. In every synagogue in the world, every Sabbath, Jews pray for good deeds, health and success of the nation in which they live.
At the time of the Temple in Jerusalem (600 BCE), the Hebrew nation unified in its land in Israel. The people prayed for the good of humanity. Nations of the world came to Jerusalem to receive a blessing for their country. The Babylonians (now Iraq) destroyed the Temple, launching the exile of the Jewish nation. The Torah cannot be understood without studying the texts that explain it. The Talmud, the Book of Kings, Judges, Prophets, Psalms, Kabbalah, allow us to understand the degree of recognition of the Torah. The main great sages (Troyes 1103), Maimonides (Cordoba Spain 1135-1204), Abarbanel (Portugal 1437), Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (Italy 1707-1746), Gaon from Vilna (Ukraine 1720-1797) and dozens of others clarified for us for hundreds of years, the secrets included in this book that go far beyond what the human brain is capable of perceiving. If Jews succeeded throughout history and influence every sphere of humanity (art, music, science, medicine, chemistry, biotechnology and nanotechnology, computer science, etc.), it is because they provided the knowledge of the Torah to the service of humanity. For over 3000 years, from generation to generation, our unique heritage allowed us to withstand the various attempts at genocide planned against us: the Egyptians, Babylonians (589 BCE), the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, the Crusaders (1000), the Spanish (1492), the Germans (1940), no one has managed to destroy the nation that was chosen by G-d. The Inca, Indians, Mayans, Greeks, Vikings have all disappeared; even though they were needed during the periods in which they lived; they did not pass on the divine message.
The Torah specifically mentions, on several occasions, the site where the Jewish nation should reside. The borders of the Promised Land, Eretz Israel, are clearly marked. The geographical breakdown is marked for every tribe. Each of the 12 tribes has the right to their land in Israel.
In 1900, 1% of the Jewish nation lived in Israel. Today, half of the Jewish nation lives in the land that G-d gave them as a permanent heritage. The Torah mentions that in 2040 (5,800 after the creation of the world), the majority of the Jewish nation will come together in Israel. Statistical figures of the State of Israel predicts that by 2040, the Jewish population will double itself in Israel, and that the majority of Jewish living in the Diaspora will assimilated.
The return of the Diaspora Jews and a return to Torah are the main events to be expected in ensuing years in Israel. The implication is that not only will we learn more Torah, we will also increasingly discover the Divine spirit on earth for Jerusalem, Israel, the entire world and every individual. All that is left is to rebuild the Third Temple as predicted Ezekiel in his prophecy in 600 BCE (source: Wikipedia).
