Jewish website quote, don't understand?
What does this mean -
"We search in vain. There is no inscription, no wall, not even the ideal of peace in this world in which the Torah was never given."

The quote is from a story about an imaginary world in which Torah was never given. The point being that the whole world has been influenced by the giving of Torah whether we realize it or not.
"What would the world look like if the Torah had never been given? Join me, if you will, for a tour of New York City in a hypothetical world where the revelation at Sinai never took place."
Surely you did not miss this or did you intentionally not post a source for this quote?

And we have entered into their houses and taught them, and we have taught them in their streets; yea, and we have taught them upon their hills; and we have also entered into their temples and their synagogues and taught them; and we have been cast out, and mocked, and spit upon, and smote upon our cheeks; and we have been stoned, and taken and bound with strong cords, and cast into prison; and through the power and wisdom of God we have been delivered again.
