Great essay! Rav Soloveitchik ZL once said that the menorah is symbolic of the fact that Am Yisrael is the Am HaNivchar a concept that the Greeks the fathers of anti Semitism despised
There are several volumes of shiurim and drashos of the Rav’s shiurim on Yamim Noraim and Moadim called anoraks HaRav edited by R Dovid Scheiber and a sefer called Harei akedem You should find what I mentioned there
Far too many Americans who think they are experts on issues regarding Israel and Judaism have never been to the Kotel seen what was done by Hamas in the Gaza Envelope visited Yad VaShem or been on a tour of the Yishuvim in Shomron or Hebron
Thank you so much Ehud!

Thank you for your interest. Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts.
Great essay. Rereading…thinking of Isaiah 11:11-16. What my father taught. Thank you, Ehud.
Rereading!
The best of compliments. Thank you.
"The Islands of the Sea." This reference always reminds me of my childhood home Martha's Vineyard.
I would add Andrew Fox to the list above-a brave and honourable man in this time of need.
Agreed.

Thanks Steven. Do you have a source for that? I'd like to look at it.
