My maiden
name was Katz and I was curious. My father always told me that I asked so many
questions I could get a job with the FBI. So I was told that saying a lot but
it didn’t stop me from asking about almost anything. For me, the idea of
Paradise was a place where all my questions, from simple to historical to
profound, would be answered.
How come
my friend dropped me like a hot potato in eighth grade? Who really assassinated
JFK? Why was there the Holocaust?
It’s
probably my insatiable curiosity combined with a lack of patience that keeps me
from enjoying thriller movies. I have to admit that I usually sneak a glimpse
at the end of especially riveting mystery novels. Now the whole world is caught
up with a disaster drama, namely the American elections, and I want to fast
forward to the end. With a little time and patience I will find out who the
winner is. However there will remain a whole series of puzzles to be solved.
How in
the world did the United States come up with such lousy candidates for the
office of presidency? Who is bribing whom to make what happen? Is there a
secret agenda we’re not aware of? What will it mean for Israel?
And most
important, what is HaShem’s plan with this fiasco? For I am certain He has a
plan.
Our Sages
teach us that in the end of days, once the Moshiach* comes, all our
questions will be answered. They compare it to the time in Egypt**, after Yosef
makes one unreasonable demand after another of his brothers when they come to
buy food during the famine. They cannot fathom why he’s so cruel and harsh to
them until he solves the quandary with two simple words, “I’m Yosef”. Then
everything becomes crystal clear.
Curiosity
killed the cat continues with a phrase not everyone knows: satisfaction brought
it back.
That means I
can continue wondering and questioning. The time will come when HaShem will let
us all understand the comedy of errors that has been playing in America for
months. I can’t wait!

Trump got the nomination because of the primaries system, but Hillary got it because the party promised it to her for behaving during Obama's presidency. You must have noticed that besides Sanders, he had no opponant. They are waiting for her to finish.
