40 Days of the Omer
Eyes all over the world are being focused on Yerushalayim as the day we celebrate her return to Jewish hands approaches this Yom Rishon. Our constant hope and fervent prayer is to see the ultimate liberation - the release of Har Habayit from Muslim domination - and with it, our own ultimate liberation from this never-ending exile. And so may it be His will!
Two questions: 1. How can we celebrate yeshuot Hashem , in a "dirty house"? ---clean first your house, celebrate latter (and if you say ,as we celebrate Pesach in any case, contrary , to celebrate Pesach first you have to eradicate the chametz)....... 2. As we enter sefer Bamidbar, we see the Divine arrangement of Israel under flags given by Hashem .... Now we go to celebrate and march under another flag.?.. Who decided that this is Israel's flag?
ReplyDeleteefraim yochanan ben Avraham - I'll leave it for others to answer your questions because I personally agree with you. If you look at the right-hand column, you'll find my proposed flag from my Medinat Yehudah days.
DeleteThe sight of the youth wrapped up in the flags also bothers me. It's just another kind of propaganda. I won't call myself Israeli. As long as a Druze, an Arab or any other goy can be considered "Israeli," I am just a Jew living in Eretz Yisrael.
