Well at least people on FR know now that Mitt Romney has an account on FR.
Boom! Priceless!
And hearing what they are saying, as well! I feel so blessed to witness these days!
The Torah reading of Haazinu is the penultimate but the last one is read with the first. I brought it up because of the end of days [of Moses], and America being the same letters as the entire Tanakh, but also that the song in Haazinu is written in the Torah as two columns, each line divided by a gap.
The greater part of the Torah reading of Haazinu (Listen In) consists of a 70-line song delivered by Moses to the people of Israel on the last day of his earthly life.
Calling heaven and earth as witnesses, Moses exhorts the people, Remember the days of old / Consider the years of many generations / Ask your father, and he will recount it to you / Your elders, and they will tell you how G‑d found them in a desert land, made them a people, chose them as His own, and bequeathed them a bountiful land. The song also warns against the pitfalls of plenty

The song lyrics that went with the same music (Materna) create interesting lines when read across. One about Jerusalem, the other about America.
It's a natural connection because of Mother's Day, Jerusalem Day, the USA within Jerusalem now with a literal embassy, but all along in the name JerUSAlem. And Rachel's day of death is known as Jewish Mother's Day, the day her second son was born. Benjamin is the physical narrative, Benoni in the spiritual story line.
Rachel is known as Rachel Imenu, "Rachel our mother", the quintessential mother of Israel. All sorts of writings about Rachel being intrinsic to the Redemption. Makes sense because when Jacob buried her along the road in an isolated grave, he was planting a seed you might say, that as the text (Gen 35) says, was located but a little way to Ephrath. Ephrath means fruitfulness, and Ben-oni is "son of my strength (exertion)". The root is the vigor that has to do with progeny.
The Jewish tradition is that Rachel died in the year 2208, so that was 3570 years ago. 70 (Israel's birthday) x 51 (reunified Jerusalem's birthday), same end point.
Forget-me-nots pop up in all sorts of surprising places because their seeds are like little balls of velcro, so they stick to fur and clothing and can travel far from the mother plant.
"A promise is a promise."
Psalm 137, how many connections going on in that one?
Indeed a blessed day for all!
Good point. And Lieberman from time to time, like yesterday, will publicly defy the Democrat line by showing up at places where Democrats aren't supposed to be. But he has never renounced his Democrat label, and if you asked him, he'd say he is STILL a Democrat, regardless of what the party has done to him.
Well, Lieberman has never much deviated from the DC 'Rats on domestic issues. But his support for a robust American foreign policy, especially vis-a-vis Israel and the Middle East, is incompatible with today's Democratic Party, as would be the case with some notable Democrats of a generation or two ago, like Harry Truman, JFK, Scoop Jackson, and Hubert Humphrey.
THIS YEAR IN JERUSALEM!!!
Shalom!

I couldn't be prouder of our countries :D
I was in tears a few times. It was so beautiful to see such open joy going on.
And like President Trump said, this was long overdue.
>>> THIS YEAR IN JERUSALEM!!! <<<

Oh well, it's done now.
HaShem will bless those who bless Israel, the Iranians don't know what they are getting themselves into.
