A very interesting perspective: Golus vs Geulah
"If one sees Judaism from a geulah perspective things are quite different.
Suddenly there are all sorts of questions that need to be asked that either haven't been asked
in 1900 years or have never been asked at all.
What is the Torah approach to a modern national economy? How does shemitah get properly observed in today's agricultural scene? What should the proper structure of the army be and what should the roles of men and women be within it? What is the Torah approach to foreign relations and international trades? The environment? Natural resource extraction? For people with strong intellects and great imaginations this is an amazing area to bring the halacha into and see what the Torah has to say about the issues. Such people, unfortunately, seem to be in short supply.
What we have called Judaism for the last 1900 years is a truncated form of true Torah observance which, in addition to personal and community rituals along with a limited set of civil rules, lacks any truly national character. True Judaism is based on such a character, one in which Jews are not coreligionists but fellow citizens participating in a joint national project."
