Got Torah?

So Trump and Pence will not actually be there but they will have a video of them making a speech. Looks like Trump is going for more of the Jewish vote.

Trump will now get 21%, and not 20%, of the New York Jewish vote.

[SaveFerris]

wow

[mancini]

Nice!

[faithhopecharity]

wow, thank you Trump/Pence!

good campaigning idea, too, because there are so many qualified American voters that may be reached this way

but anyway it sure is a WONDERFUL CONTAST to the D convention’s Trashing of America AND ISRAEL, and this week’s revelation that the HilLIARy office wanted to keep any mention of Israel out of their campaign in order to appease their big Nazi(Soros) and IslamoNAZI (Arabian Peninsula Moslem dictatorships) “donors” (owners)

THANK YOU TRUMP/Pence for doing something decent

[faithhopecharity]

this could sway another 3 or 4 percent of Jewish votes, but much more importantly it could sway another 4 or 5 percent of Christian votes for TRUMP/Pence

good good good

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.

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...)

Seven Hakafot.

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.

Republicans Overseas Israel has done an excellent job the past few election cycles in organizing and getting out the vote for Republican candidates amongst Americans living abroad in Israel.

Estimates are that 80-90% of that (predominantly Jewish) vote for President from Israel has gone for McCain in '08 and Romney in '12. Trump will probably do even better.

Unfortunately, however, many of these Republican votes will be in hopelessly lost "blue" states, if, for example, the voter is from New York or California.
