Negev and Yom Ha-Atzmaut!
In honor of Yom Ha-Atzmaut, we will analyze the Psalm (שיר המעלות) – “When God restored Zion, we were like dreamers… God restored our captivity like the streams in the Negev.” What does the image mean? We will see a video that illustrates this!
Is this a praise for an event that has already happened? Or a prayer for the future? We will compare the return to Zion in the days of the Second Temple, and the return to Zion in our days. In both cases we ask that it be like “Streams in the Negev”
