Description
There are moments when we feel as though the words of the prophets are unfolding all around us. Now is one of those times. In this week’s Haftarah, Amos dreams of a future day when the Jewish people will be restored from exile. “On that day, I will set up again the fallen booth of David: “I will mend its breaches and set up its ruins anew. I will build it firmly, as in the days of old” (Amos 9:11). In Israel today we see building, road work and other construction projects all around us. As the running joke goes here, the new national bird is the (building) crane! When else in Jewish history have we witnessed such a restoration and rebuilding of the Jewish people as we are experiencing today?
