The non-Jews responded favourably.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;The overall response from them is they now understand their feelings about the Jewish people; that they are not just about religion, but are also related to nature.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8221;Antisemitism is not coincidental. Circumstances happen all over the world, even in places where there are no Jews.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;I wrote this so Jews and non-Jews would understand who we are.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;The solution to unity among the Jews, is setting an example to the rest of the nations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Until we pass on the so-called key to happiness to other nations, antisemitism will only escalate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prof Laitman was born and raised in Vitebsk, Belarus, which he described as &#8221;a small Jewish town, with a population of a quarter of a million people&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8221;In my earlier years, I worked in a medical academy in St Petersburg in Russia. However, science couldn&#8217;t provide all the answers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On a quest to find the meaning of life, Prof Laitman emigrated to Israel in 1974.<\/p>\n<p>He became more religious, but still couldn&#8217;t find the answers he was looking for.<\/p>\n<p>He furthered his studies in ontology and philosophy, and five years after searching, arrived at kabbala.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Laitman explained: &#8221;Kabbala called out to me because it speaks about the general system that governs reality with scientific proof.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;From this I could see how to run life and achieve a complete perspective of development before and after life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;Kabbala isn&#8217;t something you do because someone told you so, but is under your own life choice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Founder and president of the non-profit educational organisation ARI Institute, he teaches two million students worldwide on how to connect, in order to be adapted to an interconnected world.<\/p>\n<p>He also runs the TV station Channel 66, in order to produce media to send a message of connection to the people of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>His students have the opportunity to broadcast their own shows on rising global issues.<\/p>\n<p>A writer of more than 40 books, his latest, Like A Bundle of Reeds, discusses the solution to the recent rise of global antisemitism.<\/p>\n<p>The content of the New York Times article was based on the book, following a kabbalistic method of practical steps to achieving unity for a better idea of how to relate to every aspect of life.<\/p>\n<p><small>K\u00e4lla: <a title=\"The Jewish Telegraph article, \u201c\u2018Unity of Jews sets an example to nations\u2019\u201d\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jewishtelegraph.com\/nat_6.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.jewishtelegraph.com\/nat_6.html<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this interview for a British newspaper, The <em>Jewish Telegraph<\/em>,  Dr. Laitman talks about the positive response he received from Jews and non-Jews around the world to his Who Are You, People of Israel feature in the NY Times.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/nyheter\/jewish-telegraph-article-unity-jews-sets-example-nations\/\">L\u00e4s mer &#8250;<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nyheter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=579"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":631,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579\/revisions\/631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaellaitman.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
