Galuth

Having lived in America for 9 years, I appreciate, respect, and even love America.
On the other hand, it is still a Galuth, a Golden Galuth, but a Galuth all the same.
I realize many Jews disagree. America has given the Jews a lot of self-respect, achievement, status, a good life. But America will not stay the same as it was. America is changing, fast. Sadly, the hospitality for Jews may be wearing thin.
The time when the majority of Jews will share this sentiment is still far off. But, when they do, Israel will take them, gladly, and say, you have come home.
