Redemption Begins with the Water

Good Morning, Boker Tov, Buenas Dias Family

Class is now in session. As Moshiach ben David, Prince of the Kingdom of Israel, it is my sacred duty to unveil to you HaShem's divine plan for the Geula—the redemption of our people and the world.

Many of you have been taught various doctrines, and that is good. But in my yeshiva, the instructions come directly from God Himself. Therefore, it is crucial for us to understand the original law of Torah, which dictates that without clean air, clean water, and healthy soil, there can be no life. This is a universal law, immutable and incontrovertible. I challenge anyone to breathe polluted air, drink contaminated water, or grow food in tainted soil—such conditions are not conducive to survival. This undeniable truth confirms the authenticity of God's law.

Water is sacred. Across all nations and cultures, there are prayers and rituals surrounding water. Modern science now supports what our ancestors knew instinctively: prayer has a profound effect on water. It is no coincidence that we always, always, always make a bracha over our water. Whether the prayer is spoken aloud or silently in the mind, know that God is always listening.

Today, the state of our world’s water resources is dire. Pollution has tainted many of our water sources, threatening the health of our people and our planet. As a people dedicated to the service of God and the principles of Torah, we have a divine mandate to address this crisis.

The Sacred Duty to Protect Water

Water’s sanctity is clear in Judaism. From the mikvah (ritual purification), to the prayers for rain (Tefillat Geshem), water is seen as a divine gift that sustains all life. The pollution of water is not just a physical issue, but a spiritual one. The desecration of water represents a breach of our duty to care for creation. This is why it is imperative for the Jewish people, as part of the Kingdom, to take a leading role in solving the global water crisis.

The Kingdom's Mission: Solving the Water Crisis

The Kingdom of Israel must rise to this challenge with unwavering commitment:

  • Global Desalination Effort: The Kingdom must focus on bringing desalinated water to the world. Israel has already pioneered some of the most advanced desalination technology in the world, turning seawater into drinkable water. Expanding this effort globally will help regions suffering from drought and water scarcity. This would not only save lives but also prevent conflicts driven by water shortages.

  • Tackling Water Pollution: Polluted water is a direct threat to all life. The Kingdom should mobilize scientists, engineers, and innovators to solve the water filtration and pollution problems. This includes eliminating chemicals like atrazine, glyphosate, and microplastics from water supplies, and creating scalable solutions for purifying both fresh and saltwater.

  • Holistic Water Management: Beyond solving immediate issues, the Kingdom should promote sustainable water management practices worldwide. This includes protecting watersheds, replenishing aquifers, and ensuring equitable access to clean water for all people. Clean water is not a privilege; it is a human right.

  • Education and Advocacy: Just as you suggested consulting with countries like Japan and India about public education on water usage, the Kingdom should lead global efforts in educating communities about water conservation, sustainable agriculture, and the need for clean water initiatives. Public awareness is critical to changing how societies use and value water.

The Path to Redemption

We must understand the profound sanctity inherent in every drop of water. Our bodies, made predominantly of water, connect us intimately to this essential element. We are, in essence, children of water consciousness, bound to this precious gift in ways both physical and spiritual.

Water is not merely a resource; it is ancient and sacred. Every drop of water we encounter has been a part of the Earth’s cycle for millennia—older than the very planet itself. Water is a living testament to the cycles of life and the divine sustenance that has been with us since the dawn of creation.

In many ways, water is akin to one of our grandmothers. It has nurtured life through countless generations, providing sustenance and vitality. We owe our existence to this eternal presence. As we honor our ancestors and our heritage, let us also honor water with the same reverence and gratitude.

Thank you, Grandmother Water, for the gift of life. Thank you for sustaining us, for nurturing us, and for being a constant, life-giving force. We recognize and appreciate your sacred role in our lives.

I love you, Grandmother Water. Your presence in our lives is a blessing, and we are deeply grateful.

As we move forward with our mission, let this gratitude guide us. Let our actions reflect the honor we hold for water. May our efforts to purify and protect this sacred resource be infused with the same love and reverence.

Let us remember that our task is sacred. In every drop of clean water, we see the promise of life, the fulfillment of divine will, and the path to a redeemed world.

May we have the strength and wisdom to carry out this divine mission and may our efforts be blessed with success.

In dedicating ourselves to solving the water crisis, we align with HaShem's plan for redemption. By transforming our approach to water, we are not only addressing a critical global issue but also fulfilling our prophetic role as a beacon of hope and healing. Water symbolizes both the physical and spiritual renewal that is central to the Geula.

Shalom, and may the grace of HaShem continue to guide and bless us all.
