Reenactment. Like Civil War reenactors. Without the stamp of approval of Agudath Israel in the US and in Israel, it’s just play-acting.
Don’t be hard hearted. Rehursals are needed. Judaism is full of rehursals and reenactments as a matter of course. For example, Sabbath. It is like a rehursals for when God and his wife finally come together. Or Passover which is a reenactment for the event of Moses leading the children of Israel out of slavery to the mountain of God to hear the word and become freemen to serve the All Mighty and Holy one. There are tons of examples of reenactments of history and yet to be prophetic events. This is one way in which this people have survived despite the odds, and continue to keep HaShem before their eyes throughout the dangerous journey called..life.
I figure it's like the concept of creating reality, where traditions end up becoming literal meanings. Flipped over stories.
Take, for example, the issue with the Christmas-Chanukah merge. Chanukah is the story of anti-assimilation, yet ironically it became the most secularized of holidays. Chanukah bushes and all that.
And this happens during the Torah and Haftarah readings that involve the reunion of Joseph and Jacob, and Joseph with his brothers. That is to say, it's another flipped over story.
All roads lead to Rome (Edom).
Rome---> Christianity---> Western Civ---> America
Rome (Edom) is the city famous for its domes. You can't make this stuff up.
I know nothing about these things. But does something need the approval of US Jews for it to be “official.”
The US was a paradise inhabited by Indians who cried at litter at the time the Temple was destroyed.
