The Seventeenth of Tammuz (Hebrew: שבעה עשר בתמוז Shivah Asar b'Tammuz) is a Jewish fast day commemorating the breach of the walls of Jerusalem before the destruction of the Second Temple.[2][3] It falls on the 17th day of the 4th Hebrew month of Tammuz and marks the beginning of the three-week mourning period leading up to Tisha B'Av.[4]
The day also traditionally commemorates the destruction of the two tablets of the Ten Commandments and other historical calamities that befell the Jewish people on the same date.[2]

Psalm 72
15. Long may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; may prayer be made for him continually; and may he daily be blessed:
16. May there be abundance of grain in the land, may it wave on the tops of the mountains; may its fruit be like Lebanon; and may the men of the city flourish like grass of the earth:
17. May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men be blessed in him; may all nations call him happy:
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Nun is the fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet
Numerical value: 50>>>
Nun also means "kingship." There is a verse in Tehillim regarding Mashiach that states:16 "May his name (Yinon) endure forever, as long as the sun." According to Rashi, Yinon refers to kingship. If we break the word "Yinon" into two -- yud and nun -- nun means kingship, and putting a yud before a word denotes continuity.17 Therefore, the name Yinon implies that the kingship of Mashiach will endure forever.
In Aramaic, nun means a fish. Another meaning of nun is a bar nafli, one who has fallen, or a miscarriage. In the Torah portion entitled Balak,18 the prophet Bilaam prophesizes the coming of two kings. The first one is King David. The second is King Mashiach, who will rise from David's descendants in the final days.

America is like the Moab of the nations. Who'd ever think that such an uglified duckling could have any worth or potential.
