אהבת ישראל!

הרב שלמה אבינר

[רשם: דוד בן שושן, מתוך שו"ת רדיו]

ש: אני לא מצליח לתת מנוח לנפשי על השנאה שיש בעם, ובפרט בפוליטיקה. גידופים, חרופים ושנאה. אולי הרב יכול לדבר עם הפוליטיקאים שינהגו בדרך טובה, נעימה ומחזקת, וירבו אהבה באומה?

ת: את מה שאתה מבקש,  אני בעצמי עושה כל חיי. ב"ה, לא חיכיתי לבקשתך כדי לפעול. כבר חמישים שנה שאני כותב מאמרים על אהבת ישראל. אולי כבר מאה מאמרים, לא של תוכחה, אלא של חיזוק ולימוד. וכמובן שאיני היחיד, אלא עוד אלפים ורבבות עושים.

אמנם לא מתחייב שהפוליטיקאים יקראו את המאמרים, אך אחרים קוראים, ומספרים לחברים, ואט אט הרעיונות מחלחלים בציבור. בכלל יש לדעת, הפוליטיקאים רוצים להיבחר, ובשביל כך צריכים למצוא חן בעיני העם. הם עושים סקרי דעת קהל, ורואים מה הדעות באומה. אם יש אהבה באומה, הם ינהגו בדרך זו, וכך ההפך. הכל כדי לדבר בשפת העם ולקנות את דעתם. אנחנו הקטנים, צריכים להרבות אהבה באומה, כל אחד בד' אמותיו. הטפת מוסר לא תמיד פועלת, תלוי למי אומרים, מה אומרים וכמה אומרים. צריך לפעול כל אחד בסביבתו לאהוב את עם ישראל, חברים, שכנים, משפחה, תלמידים.
