"Behold a people that rise up as a Lavi (lioness) and as an Ari (lion) does he lift himself up” (Balaam’s narrative to the Israelites: (Num. 23:24).You probably never thought you’d see the day when worthy Torah lessons might be gleaned from raw political culture, but is it not said that “Life is stranger than fiction?” Perhaps it’s a sign of the times; the Messianic era has long been described as an age of contradiction. Be that as it may, there is at least one valuable lesson that seems to mimic politics:

He goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed; he will surely return with songs of joy, carrying his sheaves” (Psalms 126)
