La semana pasada se leyó uno de los versículos más famosos, más respetados y queridos, pero menos observados. “Veahavta le reaja kamoja” “Y Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”
Todas las sociedades modernas libres se basan en este principio (inclusive muchos piensan que es parte de los diez mandamientos. No lo es) Pero, acaso hay quien realmente vive así? Hay quien puede amar a otro como a sí mismo?
Veámoslo filosóficamente y no solo como un ideal: como me puede obligar la Tora a amarlo, no me cae bien, no lo soporto??
Pero si analizamos la traducción precisa podremos encontrar la llave y el camino para lograrlo y al menos empezar a aplicarlo. La Tora dice que ames “Lereaja” que no se traduce “Al prójimo” sino “Hacia el prójimo”. De esta pequeña diferencia en la manera de traducir correctamente, está el secreto: Estamos obligados a HACER cosas de amor al prójimo. Hacia él. Antes de poder generar un sentimiento, que no siempre está en nuestras manos, estamos obligados a hacer acciones concretas hacia el prójimo, cosa que si están en nuestro poder. Y al comportarse con amor, eventualmente el sentimiento llegará.
SHABAT SHALOM!!!!!

George Deek is an Arab-Israeli diplomat. In 2018, Deek was appointed Israeli ambassador to Azerbaijan. He is the first Israeli Arab Christian to become an ambassador. Deek grew up in an Eastern Orthodox Christian family in the Ajami neighborhood of Jaffa, in a building where the other tenants included Muslims, Catholics, Jews and a Catholic priest of Jewish ancestry.[2][3] His father, who worked as a tax advisor,[3] was one of the leaders of the Christian community in Jaffa who served as chairman of the Orthodox Association, and was considered a well-known and popular figure in the city until in 2015 a square was inaugurated in his memory in Jaffa in the presence of Mayor Ron Huldai.[4] According to Deek, his grandparents fled to Lebanon for safety when the 1947–1949 Palestine war, having been told that the Jews would slaughter them if they remained in their homes, but expecting to return home once Arab armies defeated the Jews.[3] According to Deek, when the war ended, his grandparents felt that they had been “deceived”, and decided to return illegally to their home in Jaffa rather than remaining in Lebanon as refugees. Since reentering the country was illegal, Deek’s grandfather, an electrician, was arrested and jailed.
