Salute To Israel Parade Sunday, June 5th

I am. I may end up marching twice.

bezrat hashem

MEE

Z’sdad: Because the medina is a maisa satan.

Always wondered why some schools do not participate in the parade.

Because they love jews, and love ??? ?????, but have little affinity with the governmental entity called “Israel”.

The parade is not about the government, Thats why there is a concert / rally in central park.

It was started by people who disagree with the Israeli government

I am be”h. I have to watch my kids march and do the dance/march they’ve been practicing for weeks!

I’m already in E”Y, B”H, so I can’t come 😛 . For all who do come, thank you for having a realistic outlook about things and not just blindly dismissing everything. Yehi Ratzon that you are going to make Aliya, and if you do, to a better Medina than there is at the moment.

For those who criticize the Medina, I agree it is NOT perfect in every, or even MOST of the ways. As a settler, I have witnessed first-hand the injustices against religious Yidden and against patriots by the police who follow the Medina’s campaign of self-destruction and appeasement to Obama and the “UN” Yimach Shmam. But I still live here, and happily! PBA: this ‘maase satan’ is a product of your imagination. Read the sefer Hatkufa Hagedolah by HaRav Kasher zt”l. An eye-opening work, I say. You will see the list of rabbonim who supported the Medina, and the reasons why. There is another sefer that has a long list of Rabbonim and quotes on their support (I don’t remember the name, I’ll check today in the Beis Medrash and post it later). But believe me, their support did not depend on whether it is to their liking at first or not (Well, at least most of them…). It was the IDEA of a medina they supported. I know that some of the aforementioned Rabbonim got disillusioned with the idea because it didn’t fit the image of a religious state, but that is NOT a majority. We waited 2,000 years for our own Medina, and just because in the first 63 years of independence it dosen’t fit our dreams dosen’t mean we should follow NK and go kiss and make up with Sonei Yisrael like Ahmadinejad Yimach Shmo. We waited 2,000 years for an opportunity for this, we can wait a little bit more to see the product before dismissing it as ‘maase satan’. As the Israelis say: ‘??? ???’.

????? ??? ??? ?????, ???

not i, for i will be sitting in a cpa review course from 8:30 to 5:15…yay what fun!!! oh well, enjoy!!

Its very invigorating seeing 100,000 jews or so in the same place

Pac Man: Do you fast? There are people who honestly believe that, and they fast. Others spout the line because of their hatred for their fellow Jews.

Yes, I fast and wear sackcloth.

We often talk about achdus between different communities of Jews, but this is a chance to demonstrate it. Hundreds of thousands of Jews–from secular to Haredi, with everything in between–will gather to support the State of Israel and/or the Jews in Ertez Yisrael. We don’t have to agree on everything to find this to be a meaningful and inspiring event.
