My Heart is in the East

My heart is in the East and I am at the end of the West.
How can I taste what I eat, how can I enjoy?
How can I pay my vows and pledges
while Zion is in the ropes of Edom and I am in the bonds of Arabia?
It would be easy in my eyes to abandon all the good of Spain,
as it would be rich in my eyes to see the dust of the destroyed Holy of Holies.

Judah HaLevi elaborated his position on Israel in his brilliant philosophical book, The Kuzari. Basing his plot on the true story of a tribe, the Khazars, who converted to Judaism, he described how the king of Khazar decided to choose a religion.

Have a great day
