"Sodomy and Judaism, two opposite poles"
Abraham Abinu, our Patriarch, the father of Judaism, was a hospitable man, since his happiness increased when he could receive guests and each time he did so, it seemed as if it were the first time.
Regardless of the weather conditions, even in the face of unbearable heat, they would rush to welcome their guests. Not only he, but his family and employees were active participants in fulfilling this great precept.
Hospitality, envelops, within itself the secret and the basis of
The Jewish faith. Abraham is the father of Judaism and the driving force behind the belief in One God.
At the heart of Jewish life is faith in the Almighty, which projects holiness into human life. Therefore, it is not enough to do justice, as they say "what's mine is mine and yours is yours", but rather "charity and mercy" are needed: "what's mine is yours". Because in Judaism the goal that we, as man created in the image of Hashem, must reach is to follow His path. As He is merciful, so must we be.
The ideology of Sodomy is another. They advocate "what's mine is mine and what's yours is yours." It's true that they call this ideology intermediate (Avot 5:10), but when they take it as a maximalist position, it becomes sodomite because when there is no education in charity and mercy, it means that human life lacks faith.
The Torah tells us that when the people of Sodom learned that Lot had guests in his house, they surrounded the house. "from the young to the old, all the people from every end" (Bereshit-Genesis 19, 4) The great exegete Rashi explains: "No one objected, since there was not a single righteous man among them, and they demanded: 'Bring him out to us and we will know them'" (Bereshit-Genesis 19, 5)
Should we be surprised by this cruel attitude?
The Sodomite society, which renounced the Creator and his principles, was wiped off the face of the earth by a flood of sulfur and fire, and it is a warning to all humanity, since it is impossible to exist without a life of Faith. This has even more weight for the Hebrew nation, since Judaism is Faith, more than race and history.
Judaism cannot tolerate sodomy, it fights to exterminate it, and as the father of the Hebrew nation is also the father of humanity, it will not stop fighting until this concept is eliminated from our world, as the Prophet Ezekiel (peace be upon him) indicates: "Sodom should not be considered a sister of Jerusalem." (Ezekiel 16:44-61)
(Of drops of life)
Dedicated to the speedy peace of Israel and the entire world, to the healing of all the sick in Am Israel and the world, and to the safe return of all those held hostage in this war. May the truth spread to all humanity, and may we soon see the Great Redemption!
