Asher Ishaayahu Ben Rivka
The gemarah (Megilah 16b) quotes Rabbi Elazar who expounds Bereishit 45:14 to teach that when he embraced Binyamin, Yosef wept over the future destruction of the two Temples which were built in Binyamin’s portion of Eretz Yisrael. Binyamin wept when they embraced because of the future destruction of Mishkan Shiloh in Yosef's portion of Eretz Yisrael. At this dramatic encounter of the only two children of Rachel Imaynu, two brothers who had not seen each other since childhood, their first reaction was to weep because they foresaw the future Galut of Bnei Yisrael!
Now we can understand why Chazal chose this Haftorah for this Parshah. At the same time that we mourn the destruction of our Temple and suffer the pain of Galut, we recall with joy and gladness the assurance that Hashem will grant us final redemption.
What better time than the present when we are privileged to witness the beginning of that redemption to dedicate ourselves to the welfare and future of Eretz Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael. Above all to realize that there can be no greater support for Eretz Yisrael and no greater assurance of its growth and future than Aliyah L'aretz.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
