More and more Jews in Israel and around the world look to the left and find hatred, then look to the right and find the very same. On one side, the hostility is driven by liberal, progressive, and often even communist ideology. On the other, it is fueled by outright racism and antisemitism.

The more they try to fit in, the more they are met with walls of hatred and rejection, wrapped in blood libels and conspiracy theories.

Perhaps this is exactly what Balaam saw when he declared:

“For from the top of the rocks I see him,
And from the hills I behold him;
There! A people dwelling alone,
Not reckoning itself among the nations.”
(Numbers 23:9 NKJV)

When you reach rock bottom and look in every direction, finding neither help nor sympathy, there is only one place left to look - not merely to the hills and the mountains, but far above them, to heaven itself.

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills -
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.”
(Psalm 121:1–2 NKJV)

Israel may stand alone among the nations, but she is never alone. The Keeper of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps, and the Maker of heaven and earth remains faithful to His covenant and to His people forever.
