Trying to reflect on some the issues of Israel. One thing is quite obvious. We are still in the beginning of making a state. Israel is so young.
This means, that we need to try and understand how to make a state.
One of the basic reflections, that seems to be lacking is the health of the state.
Let me try and explain. According to law, law is governed by the goddess Justitia, you see her standing in most court rooms. She represents the ideas and ethics of the law.
She again is a reflection of the Greek goddess Nike and she again is a reflection of the Egyptian goddess Maat.
Maat is the ethical g-d of the Egyptian pantheon.
To understand the state, that is governed by law, as a consequence of the system itself, one needs to understand Maat.
She is the goddess of order, balance, harmony and equality. The scales and a feather that is the original symbol of Maat. Because when you stood to judgement in the afterlife, your soul Ka, was weighed against a feather on the scales.
A REMORALIZING effort in the state is the first step to CREATE a sound state.
G-d bless the justice of the law, may Israel be a beacon of light upon the Nations.
