PROTEKTZIA OR A BANANA REPUBLIC
Even in "Fiddler on the Roof" they mention that we wear the right shoe before the left, but why?

Rav Kook's innovative mixture of halacha, kabbala and philosophy is especially interesting on this topic. BTW, there's an interesting halacha innovated by Rav Kook here which many don't realize (or intentionally omit) that he is the source!

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US

This is what Zionism is about.
