Truth or Peace

Truth is always subjectively colored and varies depending on the source from which we derive it. This is not the case with the Torah—our Torah.

It is G-d’s revelation to the Jewish people, and it is the Jewish people alone who take it seriously. The ethics of the Torah can be understood universally and are the starting point for a world that bases its lives and decisions on values, not opinions.

Furthermore, truth also depends on access to and engagement with sources of Jewish wisdom, because Judaism is not an ideology or a political program.

Truth also depends on our daily, general state of mind—affective-emotional, cognitive, and social. Our state of mind filters and focuses the information that affects us. Conversely, the information available to us affects our consciousness and perception.

The list of factors that create and influence our truth is therefore long. We must always be aware that there are many truths!

I am reminded of the saying, „Two Jews, three opinions.“ What I mean to say is that truth always emerges through dialogue and with consideration for all involved.

Therefore, when in doubt, I always choose peace. For it is peace that never delays. But first, order is needed so that peace can be established.

The first Kohen haGadol, Ahiaron, coined the phrase:

„Seek peace and pursue it.“

We should all take this more to heart.

The West, the Terror and Peace

I had a complex about the military for a long time. That changed fundamentally with 9/11. You surely remember September 11, 2001?!

Back then, it became clear to me within a few hours that Islamist terror is diametrically opposed to the entire West and its values and must be fought with all decisiveness. Not just with words, but with the use of military force.

This is happening right now in Iran in 2026.

I have absolutely no understanding for those who consider this a mistake, and frankly, I don’t care. Because everyone must understand: Whoever wants peace must win war. We live in a time in which disorder has been exacerbated… by incompetent politicians in the past in America and today also by figures like the SPD politician Lars Klingbeil in Germany.

This category includes all those who believe that one can sell non-existent values to a duped audience as a short-term political success by pillorying those who restore order and thus create the prerequisite for peace.

La Rosa

Florese orgulloso
y es puntiagudo
no en la Flor

Ella necesita
Siempre agua dulce
para no machitorese

La Rosa de Jericó
Flores en si
despues de una larga
siempre nueva

Ella es un simbolo
la Esperanza y la verdad
de la possibilidad
de una casa ser humano

de Nuevo completamente conzenza de Nuevo

Poem by Marcus Günther Michael Gundlach

War on Culture or universal Ethics and an Apple

On the Mediterranean coast of today’s Turkey – the „apple“ as a symbol of fame and honor! Do you know the drink cider. Sidre is a word that does not come from the Greek, but from the language of ancient Anatolia. It is the same area where Mount Ararat is located. Page is my main topic today. The apple has always been worshiped in Side and here it was dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena – that was a long time ago. But the pictures on old coins prove it. The fruit also symbolizes fame and honor … and that BEFORE adding the seeds of the pomegranate „became a fertility symbol for the“ victory of the good. „During the Side Festival, the winner received a pomegranate. Sometimes I think of a hidden culture war and everyone Today I think that the pomegranate with its ‚613 seeds‘ is the symbol of the mitzvot in relation to the Torah … and that these themselves are a central point of reference of the Jewish tradition! We should not allow this tradition to be replaced by “bitterness “Is destroyed and, as non-Jews or Jews, consider Jewish ethics as the central point of reference, from where everyone can and should be happy to help themselves.
