Throughout Talmudic literature, the Jewish people are compared to the
dove. Once a dove meets her mate, she never leaves him for another, and a dove, even when her offspring are taken, will never abandon her nest. In a similar fashion, the Children of Israel are faithful to God. The Sages of the
Midrash comment that the dove that
Noach (Noah) sent foreshadows the journey of the Jewish people throughout history. Just as the dove found no rest for the sole of its foot, so the Jews will find no solace in exile. Just as the dove returned to the ark seeking shelter, so the Jews will return from exile to the Land of Israel. Like
Noach’s dove, the people have remained faithful to
Hashem (God), and now, after thousands of years of absence, have returned to His land. Find inspiration each and every day of the year with
