Nazism is a perfect example of just such an ideal. To the uninitiated, it appears that many people are fortunate, and living a life afforded them by their freedom. It is true, but obviously not the whole story. Just as a three-piece suit would feel to Tarzan the first time he would wear one, we might tend to think that the commandments of the Torah are constricting and repressive. This, however, is a superficial view.
Freedom alone is an opportunity to exercise free choice.
However, the Torah teaches us that paradoxically, a commitment to its ideals and commandments are the source of true freedom.
