A-Z OF JEWISH VALUES -

Z FOR ZIONISM

We are off to see our son Yossi in Jerusalem.

Yossi was introduced to Israel by our youth movement RSY- Netzer (Netzer stands for Noar Reformi Zioni – Reform Zionist Youth). He is now an oleh chadash (new immigrant).

That speaks louder than words for our value of Zionism.

Pesach is not about arriving in Israel but about journeying to Israel. We haven’t arrived at the ideal Jerusalem, but we still say, even in Israel:

Leshanah haba’ah bi Yerushalayim – habenuyah

Next year in Jerusalem – rebuilt (along ideal lines)

(More about that another time!)
