Y'rushalayim: Uniting Religious-Zionist-Humanist- The 3 Ideologies of Mankind
When Jerusalem is built in her glory, and even already today, it's the religious, national and universal capitol of Israel. God placed the "checks and balance" system, comprised by this Triumvirate of the king (national leader), Nasi haSenhedrin (religious leader) and Kohen Gadol ("Lover of Peace"- the humanist/universal leader) on one mountain forcing them to unite and work together. Rav Kook analyzes that all human ideologies are either right-wing (natl.), left (humanist), or religious (all the above are religious, but here, in the limited sense), who are all necessary, and also limit each other from going extreme. As long as each stress the positive & compliments the others, and isn't "anti", we will reveal the Unity of God and Israel.

The Crowns of Jerusalem
Jerusalem’s eminence stems from its being the city of the Holy Temple, the home of the kingdom of Israel, and the Torah center of the world. In liberating Jerusalem we merited advancing toward the full revelation of the greatness of the Holy City.

Selections from a Diary of Jerusalem's Liberation
When I finished the memorial service we all stood at attention and sang "Ha-Tikvah." After this, I kissed the Regional Headquarters Commanding General and other soldiers and officers, and then I began singing, "This year in the restored Jerusalem!"
Rabbi Shlomo Goren zt"l | Iyar 5767
"Lift Up Your Voice"
"Lift up your voice." Concerning Jerusalem, there is a need to speak up, a need to encourage. There is a need to infuse new spirit into those dry bones, and say, 'Here is your God!'
Rabbi Shaul Yisraeli zt"l | 5747
