Interesting duality - support for Jerusalem (embassy restoration?) along with MAGA political speeches.
With America long being an allegory for Jerusalem [on a number of levels, even since her beginnings], this reminds me of...
Dan 9.
25. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command [word, speech] to restore and to build Jerusalem until the coming of an anointed prince shall be seven sevens; then for sixty two sevens it shall be built again, with squares and moat, but in a troubled time:
(The day after Simchas Torah...)
Got Torah?
You make an interesting point. The Torah becomes seven books when divided per the inverted nun(s), nun hafukah, Hebrew נו"ן הפוכה .
And the circle (of which there are seven) for the dance with the Torah scrolls is hakafah הקפה(pl. hakafot הקפות)
Hafukah, hakafah/hakafot
Inverted circles, hakafot hafukot
הקפות הפוכות
Don't try saying that seven times fast. Must have taken me that many times just to type it out. :)
Anyway, maybe not any thing, but the similarity in the words attracted my attention because the seven circuits of the Torah would thus be seven sevens - seven circles of seven books.
It's always something...
The first part of the rally will be formal and be devoted to the support for Jerusalem, and the second part will include the political speeches.
>>>In every round of Hakafot the reader, or another member of the congregation, walks at the front of the procession and reads verses of prayer arranged alphabetically along with the congregation. At the end of these verses the congregation erupts in song and dance with the Torah scrolls.

That was my first thought too. A very interesting duality. I also note religious implications of the word ‘devoted’ in that ‘support of Jerusalem.’
Trump’s signature slogan/acronym - MAGA - is a Hebrew word - contact - what are the chances?
Still digesting the balance of your post. :-)
