Bonei Yerushalayim

We say in our tfilla about Yerushalayim "U'vnei osah bi'karov biyameinu" - Build it speedily in our days. It is also translated "Build it speedily with our days". Every day we live as we should we are contributing to the rebuilding of Yerushalayim. That is why we conclude "Baruch atah Hashem bonei Yerushalayim" - Present tense. Right now He is building Yerushalayim. Not yivne Yerushalayim - He will build Yerushalayim.

No! As we speak Yerushalayim is being built. But we are not there yet. 44 years ago we took a step in the right direction with great miracles BUT WE ARE NOT THERE YET!

למען ציון לא אחשה ולמען ירושלים לא אשקוט עד יצא לנגה צדקה וישועתה כלפיד יבער

For the sake of Tzion I will not be silent, and for the sake of Yerushalayim I will not be still, until her righteousness emanates like bright light, and her salvation blazes like a torch [Yeshayahu 62/1].

AMEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

Love and blessings sweetest friends:)!
