Sisu Et Yerushalayim
Today is Yom Yerushalayim, celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem. There was time in my life where I spent my entire day writing letters for a living proclaiming the celebration of Jerusalem’s 3000th year as “the eternal historical, political and religious capital of the Jewish people.” I wish that my employer at the time and other leaders around the world still proclaimed such things; the past 15 years have seen an amazing amount of changes.

We are all supposed to yearn for Jerusalem. My problem isn’t missing Jerusalem enough. It is translating the daily ache I feel of not being there into a yearning for Jerusalem “habnuya”, the Yerushalayim we don’t yet have.
(A Mother In Israel or any other more experienced bloggers can feel free to help me figure out why I can’t seem to successfully embed the video itself here, and have to settle for a link!)
Sorry, I missed this. Did you try going to the HTML editor in wordpress? Click on the tab at the upper right of your text box, where you are drafting the post. Post the text for embedding the HTML right into the post.
Thank you! I did try that. Maybe it is a reflection of a problem at their end, with the code. I hope so!!
