The event of the establishment of the State of Israel was no doubt an epoch-making event. The most important religious dimension of this event is the abiding astonishment which it caused after the events of the Holocaust. Only when the establishment of the State of Israel is seen in the light of the miracle at the Red Sea, will its fascination continue. And this is exactly where the greatest danger towards Israel’s continued existence lies. Just as we are informed that the miracle at the Red Sea lost its religious impact on the Israelites and normalcy became the call of the day, so we see a mentality of psychological denial and existential dullness in the State of Israel in which many people, but most of all its leadership, no longer understand the wonder of the State’s very existence. And just as the Israelites in the desert paid a heavy price, so will Israeli society, if it does not force itself once again to look through the clouds, see the miracle and rejuvenate itself through it.
