Mah zeh "Atzmaut?"

A short thought from my dad:

"The problem with today is that many people forget that although Israel is 'independent', it is completely dependent on God. When Israel celebrates its dependence on God, then we will be truly free!"




מֵאֵת יְהוָה, הָיְתָה זֹּאת; הִיא נִפְלָאת בְּעֵינֵינו
This is Hasmem's doing, it is wonderous in our eyes
זֶה-הַיּוֹם, עָשָׂה יְהוָה; נָגִילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָה בוֹ
This is the day which Hashem has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it/Him (?)
-Tehillim 118
