My thoughts on the elections from a Jewish perspective.

A lot of Jewish people are making a very big mistake after these elections. And I think that the mistake reveals something much bigger than politics. We are putting way too much faith into our politicians. [music] But here's what thousands of years of Jewish history should have taught us. We are the Jewish people. The people that stood at Mount Sinai. The people that carried the Torah from generation to generation. The people who built communities, schools, hospitals, institutions of kindness across the entire world. And here's what makes that so extraordinary. We didn't accomplish all this because we controlled the governments. We accomplished it because we knew [music] who we were. And we knew what our mission was. And we knew who sent us. Our destiny was never decided in Washington. And that's why I think these elections are so important. If you're counting on the Republicans to save us, or if you're terrified that the Democrats are going to destroy us, I think you've forgotten something very important. God runs the world. Not the Democrats, not the Republicans, not any president or political party. But here's the real question. If that's true, does it mean elections don't matter? Does it mean we should sit back and do nothing? Absolutely not. Judaism teaches us, commands us to do our part. We vote, we advocate, we build relationships, we protect our communities, we do everything in our power. But we should never confuse our responsibility to act with the belief that we control the outcome. And here's what I want every Jewish person watching this to remember. You belong to a people with an extraordinary history, an unbreakable covenant, a mission that is bigger than any political movement. So whether you're celebrating these elections or you're worried about them, don't lose sight of who you are. Presidents will change, governments will change, political parties will rise and fall, but our covenant never changes. Our mission does not change. So, stand [music] tall, stand proud, and remember our security was never in Washington. Our security has always been with Hashem, and no election can ever change that. So, relax, people. Take a breath.
