"From biblical times to the present day, the Jews ... developed the consummate political art of living with uncertainty and insecurity; their long survival owes much to this extraordinary achievement." (Power and Powerlessness in Jewish History, David Biale, 1986; page 210).
The diaspora has taught the Jews to live with uncertainty and insecurity as their sovereign life in their homeland did not teach them how to live with confidence and abundance.
