Jtube: The Counselor

If one only studies Jewish history and looks at the one common factor between Jews in Yemen ,Poland, Spain, or Lithuania one will see that it was a steadfast dedication to a life lived by the same Torah given by G-d at Mount Sinai. They were always a minority with no homeland (after the destruction of the second temple) and they somehow weren't swallowed up by the dominant cultures they lived in. But there dedication to G-d and his Torah never wavered. I recommend Rabbi Dovid Gottlieb's book "Living up to The Truth" where he talks extensively on this topic.
