\u00bfQu\u00e9 significa ser jud\u00edo? Ser jud\u00edo es ser una vela. Cada persona jud\u00eda es una vela. El juda\u00edsmo, la Tor\u00e1, es la llamita de esa vela. Esta met\u00e1fora no es arbitraria o caprichosa. La Tor\u00e1 siempre fue comparada con la luz.<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n

La misma palabra hebrea TOR\u00c1 proviene de la palabra OR que significa \u00abluz\u00bb. La palabra TOR\u00c1 es casi id\u00e9ntica a la palabra MOR\u00c1, maestra. Los jud\u00edos consideramos que el proceso de aprendizaje es un proceso de esclarecimiento. La Tor\u00e1, es \u00abnuestra maestra\u00bb, nos ense\u00f1a, nos educa, nos ilumina. Y a trav\u00e9s de sus ense\u00f1anzas disipa la oscuridad de nuestras vidas. \u00abAclara\u00bb nuestras dudas existenciales.<\/p>\n

Ahora que entendimos por qu\u00e9 la Tor\u00e1 puede ser comparada con una luz o una llamita, pensemos en lo siguiente. Si un individuo jud\u00edo no aprende la Tor\u00e1, no la estudia, no la observa, la abandona, no deja que la Tor\u00e1 lo ilumine, no se deja ense\u00f1ar por \u00abla Maestra\u00bb… \u00bfsigue siendo jud\u00edo? Y la respuesta es \u00abSi\u00bb. Un jud\u00edo nunca pierde su condici\u00f3n de jud\u00edo (Israel, af ‘al pi shejat\u00e1 Israel hu). Un jud\u00edo sin juda\u00edsmo es una vela sin llama. Y una vela sin llama, \u00bfes una vela? Por supuesto que \u00abs\u00ed\u00bb. Aunque, claro est\u00e1, una vela sin llama es una vela apagada. Es una vela que a\u00fan no sirve su prop\u00f3sito. Una vela que no cumple la misi\u00f3n para la cual fue concebida. Pero a pesar de todo, es una vela. No es una silla, un zapato o un gato. Sigue siendo una vela. Y como tal, siempre puede ser encendida. Y a lo mejor todo lo que necesita es que otra vela, una vela que ya est\u00e9 encendida, se le acerque, le ofrezca afectuosamente compartir su llama y la ayude a encenderse.<\/p>\n

Nuestra misi\u00f3n como pueblo es transformarnos, como dijo el profeta Yesha’ayahu (42:6) en \u00ableor goyim\u00bb, la luz para el resto del mundo. Y esta misi\u00f3n la cumplimos s\u00f3lo cuando estamos encendidos. Iluminados. Es lo que se espera de nosotros.<\/p>\n

Creo que esta met\u00e1fora de la vela y la llama es muy apropiada para Januc\u00e1. Nos ayuda a esclarecer, entre otras cosas, por qu\u00e9 celebramos la victoria militar de Januc\u00e1 encendiendo velas. Veamos. A veces, nuestros enemigos quisieron destruir las velas. Es decir, buscaron nuestro exterminio. Sin importarles si las velas estaban encendidas o apagadas. Si en la SHOA un jud\u00edo dec\u00eda: \u00abYo no cre\u00f3 en D-s. No soy observante. Soy ateo. D\u00e9jenme libre\u00bb, igual lo llevaban a las c\u00e1maras de gas. En la SHOA, como en los tiempos de Ham\u00e1n y Ajashverosh, al enemigo antisemita no le importaba la llama. Su odio era \u00e9tnico. Pero tambi\u00e9n pr\u00e1ctico y utilitario. Al fin y al cabo, destruyendo las velas tambi\u00e9n se acaba con las llamitas…<\/p>\n

En Januc\u00e1, o en los tiempos de la Inquisici\u00f3n, el objetivo (o al menos el objetivo declarado) del enemigo no era acabar con las velas. Su misi\u00f3n era soplar las velitas, apagarlas. Y reemplazar las llamas por una cruz o por una escultura griega. Los Jashmonayim, nuestros heroicos antepasados que vencieron al enemigo en Januc\u00e1, no lucharon para salvar sus vidas. Lucharon, y en realidad sacrificaron sus vidas, para preservar las llamitas de las velas jud\u00edas.<\/p>\n

El milagro de Januc\u00e1, el aceite que dur\u00f3 siete veces m\u00e1s de lo que deber\u00eda haber durado, tambi\u00e9n tiene mucho para ense\u00f1arnos hoy. Si seguimos el ejemplo de los jashmonayim y luchamos para preservar lo nuestro, nuestra Tor\u00e1, y nos sacrificamos para no dejar que Su luz se apague, HaShem estar\u00e1 de nuestro lado. Y si nuestras fuerzas o talentos alcanzan solamente para encender una vela, HaShem nos ayudar\u00e1 y nos dar\u00e1 la fuerza para que encendamos ocho. O quiz\u00e1s m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n
