Q: Can one say that the Jewish people are the Keter of the nations of the world?
A: The Jews are the GE (Galgalta ve Eynaim) of the collective soul of Adam. They must be the first to receive the Torah. They must learn how to correct man’s nature, and then, as Rabbi Elazar (the son of Rabbi Shimon, the author of Zohar) said, they must pass this knowledge of man’s correction to the rest of the world.
Therefore, if the world is bad, the Jews are the ones to blame! So instead of “pride,” let us feel “responsible.”
