Where did Jacob go when he "shook off" his brother Esau and the 400 troops?
And why do football squads have 11 members and a coach? (Joke - because Jacob had 12 sons and ONE of them HAD to be a COACH!)
It says in the PORTION of Vayishlach that he
went to HEVRON (Hebron) "where his fathers Abraham and Isaac had lived"
Not CNN and not the BBC make a place SOMEONE's - but the History is CLEAR
What makes a place HOLY? What makes it yours?
When you KNOW it is yours and your father's and your grandfathers (and grandmothers)!
BE HAPPY WHAT THEY LEFT US!!!
Whose land is Hevron anyway? Jordan's? ISIS?
OR ISRAEL's for thousands of years!
Is it HOLY because of those Jews buried there for thousands of years (Like RUTH the great grandmother of King David)?
Or is it OURS because NO ONE ELSE OCCUPIED THAT CITY
- until the Arab conquest about the year 700
- when there were still Jews living there and in the close by towns
- until 1929 when the BRITISH removed Jews from the city!
HAVE A SHABBOS OF BEING THANKFUL OUR FOREBEARS LEFT
US
HEVRON AND JERUSALEM AND ALL ISRAEL
Love and Shabbos
