@Health: I respectfully fundamentally disagree with your position. I actually find your words to be somewhat offensive. If Hashem gives us control and sovereignty over the medinah, how could we not celebrate it? it’s almost like saying to Hashem “thanks for your most generous gift, but I don’t want it.” How could you say such a thing? If this isn’t the beginning of the geulah, then what is? Why be so negative? To bring a textual proof, just look what happened to Chizkiyahu… Hashem did something great for him, he didn’t thank Hashem properly (now a days Hallel – I agree, without a bracha), and then the geulah didn’t happen. We learn that had Chizkiyahu thanked Hashem properly, mashiach would’ve come! Our job is to live as frum yiddin, thank Hashem for what he has given us (how is the medinah any different), and support our fellow Jews!
