> Jews were instructed to follow many laws ------ and only then, IF they did what they had to, the Almighty in His wisdom MIGHT decide to redeem them.

Anyone can see from the Laws (below) that the exile wasn't intended as a vacation. But as it happens, most Jews no longer keep these laws and, in fact, do regard the exile as a vacation. Moreover, the religion has been "reverse engineered" as if the Messiah did come and lead the Jews to the Promised Land. Such is Hollywood -- where one can believe anything one wishes.

>>613 mitzvot (or 613 Commandments. Hebrew: ???"? ????? transliterated as Taryag mitzvot; TaRYaG is the acronym for the numeric value of "613".) In Judaism there is a tradition that the Torah (i.e. the "Pentateuch") contains 613 mitzvot (mitzvot in Hebrew means "commandments", from mitzvah - ???? -- "precept", plural: mitzvot; from ???, tzavah- "command").

According to the main source, of these 613 commandments, 248 are mitzvot aseh ("positive commandments") and 365 are mitzvot lo taaseh ("negative commandments"). 365 corresponded to the number of days in a solar year and 248 was at that time believed to be the number of bones or significant organs in the human body.<<
