250 rabbis sent thank you letter praising Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem, telling him 'You will be eternally remembered in the history of the Jews';

Some 250 Israeli rabbis, including Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef, sent a thank you letter to US President Donald Trump praising him for his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

"You have a rare privilege to be the first president to recognize Jerusalem as the eternal capital of the State of Israel."
We are privileged to be living in a generation that is repeatedly witnessing the words of the prophets coming true," said the rabbis, "Jews have made aliyah and are continuing to come to the land of Israel from all corners of the world. Israel triumphs over its enemies time after time, the mountains of Israel offer generous bounty and the economy is booming."

'You will be remembered in the history of the Jews people'

"We are privileged to be seeing the rebuilding of Jerusalem," wrote the rabbis. "'Children play in its streets' (Zechariah 8:4) and we are confident in the fulfillment of all the prophecies. The United States is privileged to be one of the first nations to support the establishment of the State of Israel. US presidents have had the privilege of being at Israel's side and being a partner in the fulfillment of the vision of the prophets regarding the return to Zion and the establishment of the State of Israel."

They continued, "We are confident that you will be remembered in the history of the Jewish people as one who stood at the forefront fearlessly. May it be His will that God's promise to Joshua (1:9) should be fulfilled in you: 'Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go'—amen, amen."

With this recognition, we see the fulfillment of another step in the completion of the prophecy of Isaiah that the nations of the world will recognize the centrality of Jerusalem," said Rabbi Eliyahu. "'For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your vindication' (Isaiah 62:1). We hope that other enlightened and believing nations will follow in the footsteps of the United States."

Wake up folks, all the US has done is move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The US did not recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

And then again this is a good thing. When the Palestinians get back their country and declare Jerusalem the capital of Palestine the US will not have to move our embassy in return.

What are they supposed to do? They believe it's all going according to God's will. When things are going bad, God is testing them. When things are going good, God is rewarding their faith. It is the story of Job.

Yea, it is written in the Book of Cyril...
I'm sure 250 is a statistically insignificant number of rabbis. How many rabbis are there disagree with this needlessly inflammatory tokenism?

I'm supposed to be impressed that a museum founded by and run by evangelical Christians have given an award to President Trump? I'm supposed to be impressed by the museum's founder, an evangelical minister who is well known for his efforts to convert Jews out of his existence?

I don't think so. You'll excuse me if I reach for an air sickness bag.

The United States constitution has separation of church and state.

Should Israel put this in their constitution as well?

No wait, I mean synagogue and state.

Evangelical Christians make up the biggest pro-Israel bloc in the US. Support for Israel is stronger among American evangelicals than it is even among American Jews.
Why American Evangelicals are a huge base of support for Israel

Actually, in essence, the U.S. has recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel for over 20 years, since the passage of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 which is U.S. law.

Support based almost solely upon their belief that to not do so would make G-d angry with them. Plus all the brownie points they think they're earning that will help them lead Jews to Jesus.

The dollars are tempting, but in the end not worth it.

I need another air sickness bag.

I'm sickened by what I see in Christianity as well, but I admire the support of Israel. I doubt many are naive enough to believe they can convert any Jews.

Then you, my friend, need to get out more often.

Israel (like the UK, Canada and New Zealand) has no constitution.

I know, as an American this will confuse the hell out of you.


And then again this is a good thing. When the Palestinians get back their country and declare Jerusalem the capital of Palestine the US will not have to move our embassy in return.

The idea of the following genocide and expulsion probably really turn you.



Beats me, but either way, 250 is not sufficient to make assumptions on. My point is, we should try to to avoid confirmation bias.

Most Jews are in favour of the basic idea of Zionism.

Amen! I would certainly hope that most Jews are in favor of Zionism 101...the basics...it would seem quite odd to me if they weren't

If every Arab country ganged up on Israel, Israel would win very easily. Are you serious about the Palestinians conquering Israel? I could have sworn it was a joke, but I didn't see a smiley anywhere
