Editor's Note:
When the world goes nuts, where goes the Jew?
I don't know about you, but every prediction I have heard since 2011 began has proven false-other than the prediction that every prediction this year will prove false. The morning's news is filled with surprise and suspense, as though earthquakes have shaken not only the ground and the seas, but the minds of the people and their hearts as well.
When the earth shakes and all about you is in incessant flux, when nothing seems stable and anything could change, what do you hold tight to stay standing?
How about the one thing that stands still: an evergreen tree of life, ever-growing and ever bearing sweet fruit, yet never succumbing to the winds of time or its tremors. In other words, authentic, timeless Torah. Just what we're serving up here at Chabad.org, in tasty, well-prepared courses for the modern mind.
It's solid. It's stable. But it's alive and it gives life. Those who learn it, discuss it and put it into action bring stability and balance to the entire world. That's the way it's always been. And that's something we could really use right now.
Tzvi Freeman,on behalf of the Chabad.org Editorial Team
