Israel Photo Trivia ✡ "Make Signposts For Yourself" - ISRAEL365

Make signposts for yourself, set up landmarks ... Return, O Maiden of Israel, return to these cities of yours.

JEREMIAH (31:20)

הַצִּיבִי לָךְ צִיֻּנִים שִׂמִי לָךְ תַּמְרוּרִים ...שׁוּבִי בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֻׁבִי אֶל עָרַיִךְ אֵלֶּה

ירמיהו לא:כ


ha-tzee-vee lakh tzee-yu-neem see-mee lakh tam-ru-reem ... shu-vee b'-too-lat yees-ra-ayl shu-vee el a-ra-yeekh ay-leh

Today's Israel Inspiration

In today's verse, the prophet Jeremiah tells the Jews, on the verge of exile, to set up signposts so that they will not forget their way back to Israel. The word for signposts (ציונים / tzee-yu-neem) is almost identical to the word ‘Zion’, which shares the Hebrew root of the word for excellence, מצוין / m'-tzu-yan.  According to British Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, “Zion is not just a place. It is a way of life. Jews are called to moral excellence, to be different and to be a signpost in the wilderness from whom others get their bearing and sense of direction. Zionism is not only a matter or where we live, but also how we live.” The Holy Land is both a source of moral excellence as well as a source of supreme blessing.

Motor Sports in Israel

There are metaphorical signposts and literal signposts.  As some of the world’s fastest and most beautiful cars speed past the Old City walls, and zip past the signposts on the streets of Israel’s capital, motor-sport fans go wild and newcomers are electrified by this historic event.
