>Jews Cleansed at Sinai
>According to the Zohar, in the Garden of Eden Samael copulated with Eve and from her the inhabitants of the earth were produced. (Gen. R.XX.11) However, as the Talmud clarifies, the Jews were spiritually transformed at Mt. Sinai by their reception of the Torah and the rite of circumcision. The rest of the world (symbolized by the kings of Edom) was thus saved from destruction only through the merit of Israel. Gentiles remain, however, the children of Samael, according to the Zohar:
>Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field, etc. (Gen. 111:1). ‘More subtle’ that is toward evil; ‘than all the beasts’ that is, the idolatrous people of the earth. For they are the children of the ancient serpent which seduced Eve. (I, 28b, Pranaitis, p. 53)
>Fundamental to the relationship of the sephirot is the principie of balance. For example, the male principle balances the female. By their cohabitation unity is produced. Yet if one member of this heavenly chain is brought into discord every other member suffers clear unto the highest level for they all consist of the same ethereal substance
>“Bad Vibrations” From Gentiles
>According to the Kabbalah the great tragedy of this world is that the Kliphoth, or Gentiles, at the very bottom of the heavenly emanations, by their imbalance and discord perpetually unsettle the higher levels. As long as the Kliphoth continue to exist in their present state of discord, God and His universe will be disordered as well
>In this concept we find a rationale for the Kabbalist’s hatred of Gentiles. Christ said “the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.” (John 16:2) The Kabbalists saw the extermination of the Gentile as a necessary process toward restoring order in the universe
