Happy Re-Birth Day Israel!
This is the simple answer to such a profound question. This is the reason why we can sing and dance together, cry together, mourn together, fight together, defend together, celebrate together and build together. We are a family, a family re-born in our home after 2,000 years of dealing on our own with our neighbors cruelty and brutality and our own despair at separation from each other.
We are a family of extremes, of diverse opinions and a multiplicity of priorities. Yet we are a family. We fight each other within like a family and we protect each other from outsiders like a family.
Let’s recognize the extreme miracle of Israel’s re-birth after 2,000 years.
Happy Re-Birth Day Israel! Welcome Home to the Family of HaShem!
