The real Abraham Accords — the covenant founded by our forefather, Avraham Avinu himself
Our hopes for peace were totally shattered when instead, the soil of Eretz Yisrael was once again soaked with the blood of our people.
Then the impossible happened (again). Despite being vilified, convicted, pursued by every agency in the country, state, and city, Trump was reelected by a landslide. The Abraham Accords were given a new lease on life. The biggest question now is whether Saudi Arabia will join or not. No one can realistically answer that one, nor should anyone even waste time trying to, especially those of us who really have no part in this anyway.
Permit me to explain.
While the umos ha’olam are busy with the Abraham Accords, we in Klal Yisrael, maaminim bnei maaminim, have long belonged to the real Abraham Accords — the covenant founded by our forefather, Avraham Avinu himself.
The Mishnah in Pirkei Avos (3:15) warns us against nullifying the Bris (loosely translated as “accords”) of Avraham Avinu. Later in Pirkei Avos (5:22), the Mishnah instructs us to emulate three positive character traits that Avraham Avinu himself manifested: having an ayin tovah (a good eye), a ruach nemuchah (humble spirit), and a nefesh sichlah (undemanding soul). These three attributes connect us to our founding father and bind us all in the real Abraham Accords.
