MY SAY: YOM KIPPUR 2012 AND 1973

In observance of Yom Kippur there will be no postings tomorrow.

At sunset this evening Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) will commence. We the Jewish people pray and repent and reflect on who will be written in the “Book of Life” and who in the “Book of Death”, as well as “who will rest and who will wander, who will live in harmony and who will be harried … who will be degraded and who will be exalted.”

We should also reflect on Yom Kippur of 1973:

As Jews throughout the world were fasting and praying The combined forces of Arab/Moslem Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Tunisia launched a surprise attack against Israel. Over one million troops against a nation whose sole crime was that it is a Jewish nation.

After terrible losses, 3,000 dead and an equal number injured, Israel regained its footing and won the war, which is when all the harpies in the United Nations and in our State Department shrieked for a cease fire. They are forever condemned to eternal degradation.

To all Israel’s friends and supporters who buck the prevailing political correctness and stand with Israel and the Jewish people, we will pray that you be inscribed in The Book of Life….may you rest and live in harmony.
