  1. As far as I'm concerned all of Torah and mitzvos are predicated to produce a Mamlechet Kohanim v'Goy KADOSH!

    Of course leaders need an extra dose of Torah etc. Nevertheless the Thrust of the Torah is societal and communal.

    Perhaps some Philosophers and Baalei Mussar tried to refocus Torah into a tool for self-perfection. I don't see that as central to the Torah at all. It's more about societal perfection [Tikkun Olam?] than about individuals

    Remember the words of Ruth "Ammeich Ammi, Veilokayich Elokai"

    Accepting Jewish Nationality comes first.
    Shalom and Regards,
