Moved by Gal Gadot's address in Hollywood to write this poem, I too proudly declare, "I am an Israeli and I am Jewish." It is the greatest privilege I can imagine, and I am the luckiest man on Earth.   

Most Countries are rooted in land be it bountiful, rocky, or arid like sand Yet Israel is much bigger than her borders A nation marching to the Almighty’s orders A people grounded in the precepts of the Holy Book Given them on Mount Sinai, when the whole world shook Descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – renamed Israel A man, a nation, a people forged from the finest material

Ha, ha! Golders Green. Bowlers and black hats. Always struck me as a cold community. ~ gw

God’s chosen people. Pity more Jews living in America don’t share your pride or at least make their voices heard.

80% or so of the Jews in the USA do not feel part of the Jewish Nation. Not even after October 7, 2023. Pity. ~ Gershon
