"For thousands of years, the shofar has called the Jewish people together
for many reasons, including ushering in the new year. On this Rosh
Hashanah, I pray the shofar will not be
needed to sound an alarm of war for the people of Israel. Let it instead
be used for all across our own nation (United States), as the philosopher Moses
Maimonides suggested in the 12th century,
"Sleeping ones! Awaken from
your sleep! Slumbering ones! Awaken from your slumber! Examine your
deeds, and turn once again to God."
L'Shana Tovah to all, and especially
the people of Israel.
Rest assured there are many of us who will never
abandon you."
(May the L-rd bless Allen West with the blessing from Genesis 12:3 ~
The 2 Spies)
Amen! I agree with LTC West's statement.
ReplyDeleteLove the shofar, it reminds me of a ram who was substituted when Abraham was to offer his son, and reminds me of my Messiah who was offered in my place for my awful sins. It reminds me to be a watchman on the "walls of Jerusalem" that Jerusalem will be a praise in the earth.
