Jewish tragedy

It is the day of commemoration of all bad things that have happened to the Jewish people.
The fast of the 9th of Av.
So many bad things, so much blood spilt.
Jews sit on the ground and cry for what was and dream of what will be.
What was had the Jewish people in their homeland with complete sovereignty.
The exile from the land never severed the connection of the Jewish people to its land.
In fact this was strengthened and handed down from father to son.
The latest terrible tragedy the holocaust and its aftermath the founding of the State of Israel has changed things somewhat.
We see that the Jews are moving back to the land and have become able to defend itself.
There have been mini tragedies along the way including terrorist attacks and forcible Jewish expulsions by Jews themselves.
This day of sadness is a inspirational day for all who participate.
The hope of a complete return to Jerusalem has started manifesting itself.
Those with eyes open can see this.
As for those who deny this for them we will also lament on this saddest of days.
Jewish tears and hope have brought us much closer to the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.
It will happen.
We all hope very soon.
