Editing Hashgacha Pratis - Divine Providence (section)

==== The Difference Between Providence Over Israel and the Rest of the World ====
Despite the fact that the Baal Shem Tov revealed that Providence over every detail applies not only to the Jewish people but also to the nations of the world and other matters of the world, according to his approach there is still a special superiority in the Providence over Israel.

The explanation for this: For other details in the world, despite G-d supervising them, they are only a means to something else - for the sake of Israel. Therefore, the Providence over each detail is according to its superiority, to what extent it is relevant and essential to the purpose of creation. But for the Jewish people - who are the purpose of creation and not just a means - each detail has equal importance, and each of their details relates to the purpose of creation.
