Printed in the Jewish Press
| Quote: | The Shining Rose
by Chaim Kwass
How long must we not expose
Our long stemmed shining silver rose?
The nations need our assistance
As they take the path of least resistance.
We are told "Some things you do not teach
It is best to keep them out of reach".
It is best we keep ourselves intact
And teach by example how to act.
We must remain a separate nation
The Chosen Ones, G-d's creations.
Some day all nations will march as one
In the shade of Moshiach Tzikeinu's sun.
For that day we do pray
Until then, with this alone our rose must stay. |
What is the rose? Please explain.

You think maybe it's the Shechina, but covered?

Hasnt a rose been compared to the bleeding of Taharas Mishpocha. The hedge of roses? The beauty and then the thorns, of keeping you away?
It would seem to me that this person may be advocating teaching Taharas Hamishpocha and being open about it (not when you use the mikva, but THAT you use the mikvah).
It has always been a taboo subject, and therefore lots of not frum people are not hearing about it.

I think the rose is the torah.
we are not a nation who seeks converts. we keep to ourselves following the torah, bettering ourselves, and being an example for others. even as the other nations appear to "need our assistance" because they are going down in level, it is not our job right now to reach out. one day, when mashiach comes, the truth of torah will be known to all the nations.

I think it is a mixture of CM and su7kids - because man and woman are not whole without the shechina - therefore we must come together to bring out our tzelem elokim - thereby bringing the geula MOSHIACH

To me it sounds like it's talking about the Torah.
