If you follow the business news, you’re probably aware that, officially, the U.S. debt now exceeds $37 trillion, a number so humongous that it is impossible to grasp what that means. But before you try to, take a deep breath and brace yourself for a hard landing. According to one very recent analysis, the real amount of debt is actually much more than that. In this view, the real number is more than $151 trillion.

Just over four years ago, I wrote a column for this newspaper correctly predicting that by antagonizing allies, the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, were in danger of losing their grip on power.

It is truly heartbreaking that in the midst of a devastating war – nearly 1,000 brave Israeli soldiers have been killed, thousands more wounded, tens of thousands of families remain displaced, and the country is torn apart emotionally and ideologically over the seemingly irreconcilable goals of rescuing the long-suffering hostages and defeating Hamas – another battle has been declared.

Although all the Orthodox movements and publications were against the Disengagement, none were willing to do anything about it. Total silence from all quarters – except for the National Council of Young Israel. I think it was one of the most baffling acts of silence in Orthodox history.

There are two levels of reality: The first is how things appear on the physical surface; the second is the meaning that lies behind that exterior. Correspondingly, there are two levels of sight: the first is physical sight, which allows you to see the physical surface of the object; the second is spiritual sight, the mechanism of giving meaning and depth to that which you see.
