| While some Christians in the Middle Ages portrayed Jews as supernatural creatures, as demons, devils, or the antichrist, some Jews, on the other hand, imagine themselves as possessing a special degree of holiness, putting them on a higher plane than all other human beings. | |
| In the 12th century, a Jewish teacher, rabbi, philosopher, Judah Halevi, wrote a book called the Kuzari, and advanced the idea that | |
| Adam, the original Adam, had a special spiritual spark that was eventually conveyed to Abraham and then eventually conveyed to Jewish people, and Jews have that additional level of spiritual capacity. | |
| We have a different kind of soul. | |
| Then in the 17th century, in Poland, there developed a belief that there was a plant soul, an animal soul, a human soul, and a Jewish soul. | |
| And that shows up today coming out of that milieu among the Chabad Chasidrim. | |
| All people are God's children, but God chose one to lead in morality, but again, not holier than thou, but unique in what our responsibilities are. | |
| And that's our so our souls have a special unique relationship with God that requires us to be those servants here in this world to lead the immorality. | |
| They spend an awful lot of time explaining how that doesn't mean Jewish superiority, certainly not anymore, but it does. |
