WhatsappBet on Israel. Bet on the Jews. They may always seem to lose in the short term. But in the end, they always end up on top. That is the gist of this short and amazing clip.
The Jewish people do not persevere on their own. They persevere because there is a Hidden Hand that is guiding history. That Hidden Hand is the savior and the reason that the Jewish people will not merely continue, but thrive in the Land of Israel.
All of this was true, but mere lofty words for more than 1,900 years. Then, suddenly, in what seemed like just a matter of years, but was really many decades, the State of Israel was born. The ingathering of the exiles that had begun in earnest and continued to grow turned into a massive spigot that opened and allowed in hundreds of thousands to return to their Home.
The secret was that for 1,900+ years, the Jewish people never forgot that their Home was the Land of Israel and that the time would come when they would somehow, some way, be able to return and unite with their Land. So, when they returned, it wasn’t the way immigrants generally feel – as strangers in a strange land. They felt completely at home and were shocked at how natural they felt in this foreign land.
In the Land of Israel, the past and future are fused into one. That powerful sense of belonging and being part of the unending chain of Jewish history continues to inspire and drive the miraculous rebirth of the Jewish people in their ancestral Land of Israel.
