shake well before serving that's the message that reads on the salad dressing bottle why why do I need to shake it well because there's oil inside and whenever oil is mixed with other liquids the oil does not dissolve into them it remains distinct and R es to the top so if you want a good dressing you need to shake it up and then pour it because if you shake it up and wait the oil will float right back to the top ah now I understand why the temple candelabra was kindled every single night with oil that's why we light the with oil the Jewish flame is created by oil the Prophet Jeremiah 11 defines the Jewish people as the Olive Tree why because the Jewish people are the oil of the world look so many of us tried so hard to integrate with the larger society we came to truly believe that our jewishness is just an ethnic fact it's not very relevant to our life we would be accepted and beloved as part of the larger Human family Jews have never felt lonelier betrayed by so many supposedly good people and they ask where did we go wrong the answer is nowhere the entire United Nations can vote that oil should dissolve with water but a vote doesn't change the laws of chemistry oil is a non-polar molecule water is a polar one there will be no attraction between the molecules of both liquids oil is less dense than water so it floats to the top similarly no vote and no attempt in the world can alter the spiritual laws of chemistry the Jewish people are the oil of the world chosen to serve as a beacon of moral light and Clarity to ourselves and to the entire planet nothing we try to do could cause us to dissolve to assimilate to Forfeit our identity the world screams you are a Jew and we know it yes we are the oil of the world so let's be Jewish like never before and let's be United like never before because the more Jewish we are we can create the Flames that will light up our country our nation and the entire world Happy [Music] khaka
