Very good. And what do we learn from this?<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes contrast is important to identify an object. Without contrast, the white paper makes it impossible to see the drawing on it.<\/p>\n<p>The same applies to us in the diasporic exile we live in: if we are all the same, if there is no contrast, then it is very difficult to identify who we are, what we are.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key points for preserving identity is understanding that one is different from others. In every aspect: a human being, an individual with rights and obligations, an inhabitant of the earth, of a country, of a society, etc. Of course, this doesn&#039;t have to have negative connotations; it simply highlights one&#039;s own identity and that of others.<\/p>\n<p>If we want to preserve and strengthen our Jewish identity, we must understand and accept that we are different. Neither better nor worse. Just different. And we must learn about this, delve deeper, and explore the book that describes who we are\u2014the Torah.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rab\u00ed Akiva sol\u00eda decir que aprendi\u00f3 mucho de sus maestros y de sus compa\u00f1eros, pero m\u00e1s de sus alumnos.
