Introduction
“And you, the montains of Israel, will produce your branches, and you will bear your fruit for My people Israel because they are about to come. For behold, I am for you, and I shall turn to you, and you will be tilled and sown. And I shall multiplying men upon you, the whole house of Israel in its entirety, and the cities will be settled, and the ruins will be built up. And I shall multiply upon you man and beast, and they will be fruitful and multiply, and I shall settle you as in your early days, and I shall make you better than your beginnings, and you will know that I am the Lord. And I shall cause man to walk upon you, My people Israel, and they will inherit you, and you will be to them for an inheritance, and you will no longer continue to be bereaved of them.”
(Ezekiel – Chapter 36 / 8-12)
”And I shall settle you as in your early days.”
Insight No. 1
Visiting Ponevezh (in Vilnius) and implementing Hebrew values to local teachers.
Ponevezh was a mostly Jewish town one hundred years ago. With great Yeshiva (high-quality Jewish study learning place) that is functioning until today (in Israel) with more than 1,500 students each year. Today you might find a maximum of 20 people… The ambitions of the local community to learn our insights, this is the first step.
Insight No. 2
Doing this event on the Holocaust Memorial week is more unusual.
A second world war in general, and the Holocaust, in particular, finalized a process where Jewish people didn’t stay at this town. We were invited to accomplish Hebrew – ideas, and morality, “that is lacking in the last 70 years” as they say.
Insight No. 3
Touring the city, learning places, and their Jewish connection, and suddenly…
…Meeting the old Hebrew cemetery.
Nothing left.
The Russian turned it to a Park!
Even the memorial statue of this cemetery is made from the gravestones.
It’s annoying.
Until I remember Ezekiel above prophecy. What took a decade with Ponevezh – It’s nothing when you compare with 2,400 years since Ezekiel Prophecy who is coming alive in front of our eyes. With a steady state who behave Morally as well!
This is much profound understanding that can calm any soal.
