Lee Diamond – Good for the Jews ?
Once I had a teacher
Who divided all history
Into “Good for the Jews
Or Bad for the Jews!”
So how would he relate to today?
Good or bad for us?
I’m told that synagogues in the U.S.
Are having a “Trump Bump”
The Shuls ( Temples) are full again!
Seemingly the “tribe” is nervous
Shades of antisemitism are visible
Immigration is threatened
Jews want to be accepted
But they still feel their immigrant status
” love the stranger because you were
Slaves in Egypt.”
It’s unnerving
To hear talk of “strangers”
Of Immigrants –who are unwanted or eliminated!
When our status is threatened
Even indirectly
—We huddle —-
We come together
We seek each other
We gain strength
From a sense of common status
We may call this “Tikun Olam”
But it’s really a “hug” from the family
And when the going gets tough
We get a “Trump Bump”
Hie long you ask
Will thus last ?
Is this good for the Jews?
Or bad for us?
Well. It’s been going on
Since Abraham and Sarah
You see,
נצח ישראל לא ושקר
“THE ETERNITY” of Israel
Never FAILs Us
