During “the season” we moved to Shiloh in the summer of 1981, Shiloh doubled in population from over thirty families to sixty plus. And the yishuv (town) also got much, much larger, because Arik Sharon who had then been Minister of Construction had decided on insisted on making a whole …
The more you experience the vocabulary, the spelling and the sound of the words you need to know, the more likely you’ll recall them at will. Think about it. How did you learn the songs you heard on radio, albums or other recordings? Your repeated exposure to the lyrics made memories!
The prayer was very carefully worded. It does not endorse the policies of the politicians leading the State of Israel. It has us asking Gd to bless those people with wisdom and the ability to follow Gd’s instructions.
